Neivamyrmex diana

Dambros et al. (2018) - Neivamyrmex diana was collected via arboreal fogging in an inundated northern Pantanal (Mato Grasso, Brazil) cambarazal forest. The seasonally flooded forest was dominated by Vochysia divergens Pohl. (Vochysiaceae). This presumably soil/ground dwelling N. diana was putatively driven into the trees by the seasonally high water.
