is an ant garden inhabitant that occurs in primary wet forest on the Atlantic slope of Costa Rica. The most extensive observations of this species are from work I carried out with Operation Raleigh in 1985, at a 500m site in the Zona Protectora of Braulio Carrillo National Park. While working in the canopy I discovered an "archipelago" of ant gardens. A larger central garden was in an

was mosscovered, and looked like the oldest one. All gardens sprouted a diverse assemblage of epiphytes. The most abundant species was an aroid with thick, white, fleshy roots, which seemed to form the scaffolding of most of the nests. There were about 20 epiphyte species total, including Piperaceae, Gesneriaceae, Bromeliaceae, and Orchidaceae. When gardens were removed, the tree stems beneath them were densely clustered with scale insects. No scale insects were visible on any exposed stems; they only occurred where sheltered by the carton material of the gardens.

I dissected ten gardens, including the large central garden, and failed to find any concentrated area of brood or a physogastric queen. Curiously, after I finished the dissections and had returned to camp, I found a physogastric queen and one attending worker on my clothing. I presume she crawled or was shaken onto my clothing during the dissection, and I cannot say from which garden she came. However, the presence of this single physogastric queen after dissections of ten gardens suggests monogyny. Workers, brood, males, and alate queens were dispersed evenly throughout the matrix of each garden. The fact that the larvae were highly dispersed could indicate that they feed on something produced by the garden itself, rather than relying on an external food source that is harvested and delivered to them by workers. The arrangement was reminiscent of nests of the
