Aphaenogaster

Aphaenogaster is a heterogeneous assemblage of slender myrmicine ants found worldwide. Some species are important in dispersing plant seeds. Other species, such as A. tennesseensis pictured below, are social parasites. A few Australian species build extensive soil mounds and are regarded as pests of lawns and pastures.
