Bothroponera tavaratra

Pachycondyla tavaratra occurs in northern Madagascar, and was collected mostly from the high altitude rainforests of the PN Montagne d'Ambre and Forêt de Binara. Rarely has it been recorded from lower altitudes at Andavakoera and Binara forests. This species forages mostly on the ground and generally nests in rotten logs and soil layers or rarely under rocks. Its longer antennal scapes are suggestive of foraging conducted on the forest floor and through leaf litter.
