• Nylanderia terricola

  Nylanderia terricola is a Nearctic ant species in the subfamily Formicinae, originally described by Buckley in 1866. Workers of this species are morphologically difficult to distinguish from N. vividula, and accurate identification typically requires examination of male specimens. The species belongs to a genus that includes both native and introduced species in the Nearctic region.
