Camponotus echinoploides

Endemic to Madagascar, C. echinoploides occupies the eastern rainforest, areas with transitional northern rainforest, relict montane rainforest in the central plateau, and the southwest of the island. The fact that most of its members have been found foraging on low vegetation and nesting in dead branches above the ground suggests that C. echinoploides is arboreal.
