Adelomyrmex longinoi
Fernández, 2003
(ANTWEB: CASENT0173239). (
Map 14
)
An introduced species known from Central America; from
Guatemala
to
Costa Rica
(
FERNÁNDEZ
, 2003
;
LONGINO
, 2012
). It was collected in Galápagos for the first time in 2003 and is only known from the Humid Zone of
Isabela
Island (
HERRERA
&
LONGINO
, 2008
, misidentified as
A. myops
). A few specimens have been collected in litter in mature forests of
Inga edulis
Mart.
and
P. guajava
in disturbed and cultivated areas. Additional Berlese or Winkler sampling throughout other islands of the archipelago might reveal more records of this species and help us understand its distribution and habitat preferences.
