Monomorium elghazalyi

The type series of this species was found nesting in moist soil under a rock next to a date palm tree. The other nest series was collected from Wadi Sakhalof, where it was found foraging in very dry soil rich in decaying goat faeces under a date palm tree. It seems likely that the species may be endemic to Socotra. (Sharaf et al., 2017)
