A dark brown ant the size of
Nylanderia bourbonica
,
with very long scape to the antennae. It is a tropicopolitan ant, known in some places as the "crazy ant" because of its rapid movements.
Previously collected in
Guam
by
Fullaway
in 1911
. Apparently it is rare, as we have it from only two localities.
