  • Pheidole cerebrosior

    Pheidole cerebrosior is a species of higher myrmicine ant in the family Formicidae, described by Wheeler in 1915. It belongs to the hyperdiverse genus Pheidole, which is characterized by worker polymorphism with distinct major and minor castes. The species is part of the Attini tribe, which includes the well-known fungus-growing ants, though Pheidole species are not fungus-growers themselves. Information regarding its biology, ecology, and distribution remains limited in the available literature.
