Holcoponera pernambucana

Little is known about the biology of G. pernambucana, but label information shows that this species is usually collected in areas of open vegetation such as the arboreal Caatinga, Canga and open grasslands, with at least one record also in the wetlands of Pantanal. Most of the collected specimens were sampled with soil baits of sardine and honey and, sometimes, with pitfall traps, suggesting that the species usually forages on the ground.
