Genus Amblyopone Erichson View in CoL HNS
Ants in the genus Amblyopone HNS have cryptic foraging habits and are specialist predators on geophilomorph centipedes and other arthropods living in soil or rotten wood. Two species are known from California: A. oregonensis (Wheeler) HNS is found in shaded, medium-elevation coniferous forests in northern California, while A. pallipes (Haldeman) HNS is widespread in chaparral and low elevation woodland.
Species identification: Ward (1988). Additional references: Brown (1960a), Creighton (1940b), Haskins (1928), Lattke (1991d), Lacau and Delabie (2002), Traniello (1978, 1982).
