Cardiocondyla sp

This is a slightly larger (than the first posted in this blog) species of Cardiocondyla.

Cardiocondyla are typically polygynous monomorphic ants. The queens are slightly larger than the typical workers which is very similar to the Tetramorium genus in this location. Another feature very similar to Tetramorium genus in this location is that of colony size is generally small with a high proliferation of queens in each colony.
