| Abstrak: | *[A small population of the Neotropical Crematogaster obscurata has survived a series of hurricanes on West Summerland Key, Monroe County, Florida. The acrobat ant Crematogaster obscurata Emery was first discovered in the USA in 1995 & reported in 2000 under the name of Crematogaster agnita. This is the only known U.S. population of this apparently innocuous species. If the exotic status & limited range of the Florida population is confirmed, recommends eradication using insecticidal baits applied.] |
