Bothroponera masoala

Pachycondyla masoala is only known from the lower elevations of humid forests in northeastern Madagascar around the PN Masoala, and in the Makirovana forest near Sambava. One nest was found under a dense layer of roots and litter on a rock, but the species generally forages on the forest floor and through leaf litter.
