Distribution and habitat This genus has a strictly American distribution, inhabiting in the Nearctic and Neotropical regions and containing 60 species, several undescribed. Despite being considered by many ant collectors as "road side weeds", several species of ''Dorymyrmex'' shown a high degree of endemicity, specialized habitat preferences, and varied population structure. Some species may serve as potential agents of biological control of annual crop pests. Species of ''Dorymyrmex'' nest preferentially in dry or disturbed habitats, generally in soil without vegetation cover. Several species are known to attend aphids and other hemipterous insects. Such behavior is common in other Dolichoderinae genera and related subfamilies.

''Dorymyrmex bicolor'' is a species of ant in the Dolichoderinae subfamily, known by some as cone ants due to the shape of their mounds.

''Dorymyrmex bicolor'' is primarily found in arid desert regions in Central and South America and the southwestern United States. Tool use ''Dorymyrmex bicolor'' regularly interacts with three different species of '' Myrmecocystus'', another genus of ants. Between the two genera of ants, in the southwestern region, there is much overlap of food sources and space between ''Dorymyrmex bicolor'' and ''Myrmecocystus''. The ''Myrmecocystus'' ants secrete a substance from their poison gland onto a food source they find in order to repel other ants. ''Dorymyrmex bicolor'' exhibits a diffe ...
