Little is known about its colonial structure (nests usually have ~50100 individuals); collection records suggested that some species may be polygynic. Intercastes are reported for the first time in the present study. The unique morphology and the usually dense layer of soil and litter particles covering the integument of some species suggest that the dirt ants have a dietary preference—situation reinforced by an impressive morphological variation on the mouthparts across the genus (
