Amblyopone michaelseni

Although the type specimen was taken at Jarrahdale, where Curtin University students and other researchers have done much work on ants, there are no specimens in the Curtin Ant Collection. Possibly this is a species that has been affected by alteration in land use around Perth. (Heterick 2009)
