Adelomyrmex longinoi Fernández, 2003

(ANTWEB: CASENT0173239). ( Map 14 )

An introduced species known from Central America; from Guatemala to Costa Rica ( FERNÁNDEZ, 2003; LONGINO, 2012). It was collected in Galápagos for the first time in 2003 and is only known from the Humid Zone of Isabela Island ( HERRERA & LONGINO, 2008, misidentified as A. myops ). A few specimens have been collected in litter in mature forests of Inga edulis Mart. and P. guajava in disturbed and cultivated areas. Additional Berlese or Winkler sampling throughout other islands of the archipelago might reveal more records of this species and help us understand its distribution and habitat preferences.
