Dolichoderus jacobsoni

Nothing is known about the biology of .

Identification
Dill (2002) - A member of the Dolichoderus sulcaticeps species group. The workers of D. jacobsoni differ from those of the other species of the D. sulcaticeps group in the small body size (Type: HW 0.84 mm. AL 3.54 mm) and the strongly convex eyes, which, in full face view, project out beyond the lateral margins of the head (fig. III-37a). Otherwise, the workers as well as the queens exactly match the morphological definition of the species group. Despite the distinctly shorter body size of the workers of the type series, the size of the queens differs only negligibly from those of the other species of the group. Regarding its very finely reticulate, strongly shining surface, jacobsoni resembles sulcaticeps and Dolichoderus siggii, yet differs in its yellow-brown coloration.
