Stenamma meridionale
Stenamma meridionale is a species of ant in the genus Stenamma, family Formicidae, described by Smith in 1957. The genus Stenamma comprises cryptic 'leaf-litter' ants found in moderately humid to wet forest habitats across the Holarctic region, Central America, and parts of northwestern South America. Species in this genus are typically small, slow-moving, and form small colonies. Many Stenamma species are adapted to cool, wet environments at mid to high elevations, often becoming the most abundant ant genus in cloud forest leaf-litter samples.
