Nylanderia trageri

Nests are found in leaf litter and in rotten branches. The time of reproductive flight is unknown. Collections have been made at elevations between 200 and 750 m in the central U.S., particularly in the Ouachita highlands and surrounding areas. Previously, it was noted as a morph of Nylanderia parvula, but the presence of distinct uniformly yellow specimens collected in multiple areas, and preliminary molecular analyses (S.G. Brady, unpublished data) indicate it is a separate species (Kallal & LaPolla, 2012).
