Strumigenys Abdita
''Strumigenys'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Biology ''Strumigenys'' form small nests in soil, under or between rocks, or in and under logs or under cattle dung. Some species nest in association with other ants such as '' Bothriomyrmex mayri'' or '' Rhytidoponera metallica''. Although they are normally slow moving, they can run quickly when disturbed. ''Strumigenys xenos'' is a permanent social parasite, which forms no workers and lives in the nests of its host ''S. perplexa''. Most species specialize in the hunt of springtails, and the others eat other soft-bodied arthropods.Australian Ants OnlineGenus ''Strumigenys''/ref> Distribution Despite having many species occurring in temperate ecosystems, the genus is most diverse in the tropical rainforests around the world.
