Syscia augustae

This species is most commonly found in forests, usually in mesic areas. Nests are unorganized and individuals are found in the litter and under stones, or in branches imbedded in soil in moist habitats. These ants are rarely collected and are usually accidentally found when one is excavating the nest of another species. (Mackay and Mackay 2002)
