Hypoponera sp. - Hypoponera opaciceps

June 12, 2019
Size: 3.5 mm
This ant was removed from the stomach contents of a cane toad. The petiole shape indicates to me that it is likely Hypoponera sp.

Please post ants to Formicidae. I don't know if any of the experts are looking at Formicoidea.

Thanks!
