Aenictus seletarius

Aenictus seletarius was collected from a tropical lowland primary and old growth secondary rainforest in Singapore proximally located (<100 m) to a freshwater catchment. As individuals were collected with subterranean pitfall traps set 15 cm beneath the soil surface, A. seletarius likely exhibits a hypogaeic lifestyle similar to many other Aenictus species. Additionally, we found over thirty specimens of a small (TL ca. 4 mm), eyeless unidentified Pseudolasius species in the same traps in which the A. seletarius individuals were collected.
