Nothing is known about the biology of Dolichoderus carbonarius.

Identification

Dill (2002) - Regarding the shape of the saddle-like propodeum, carbonarius resembles buttelli, but distinctly differs from the latter in the surface sculpturing (head only weakly shining, alitrunk less coarsely sculptured) and the shape of the pronotum (more rounded, lateral edges of dorsal face indistinct).

Distribution

Malay Peninsula.

Countries Occupied

Number of countries occupied by this species based on AntWiki Regional Taxon Lists. In general, fewer countries occupied indicates a narrower range, while more countries indicates a more widespread species.

Estimated Abundance

Relative abundance based on number of AntMaps records per species (this species within the purple bar). Fewer records (to the left) indicates a less abundant/encountered species while more records (to the right) indicates more abundant/encountered species.
