Rhytidoponera anceps

Distribution
Heterick (2009) – Rhytidoponera anceps has been collected at various locations along the south coast of WA by ANIC workers, although it is not represented by SWBP material in the Curtin Ant Collection. The distribution of R. anceps is most peculiar, as it is otherwise known from the Qld and northern NSW coasts.
