Neivamyrmex minor

Neivamyrmex minor occurs in a wide variety of habitats it is one of the most frequently encountered Neivamyrmex species, and is commonly collected at light. The female castes are currently unknown but, based on ranges, we posit that Neivamyrmex leonardi will prove to be the worker. Although this species has been collected in variety of habitats, it has only rarely been collected in the desert areas of the west. Elevational amplitude ranges from near sea level to about 7000 feet. (Snelling and Snelling 2007)
