Syscia augustae
Syscia augustae is a species of doryline ant originally described by Wheeler in 1902 as Cerapachys augustae. The species was transferred to the genus Syscia following taxonomic revision of the doryline ants. It belongs to the subfamily Dorylinae, a group known for army ant-like behaviors including group foraging and nomadic colony cycles. Very few observations of this species have been documented, with most records originating from Brazil.
