A dark brown ant the size of Nylanderia bourbonica , with very long scape to the antennae. It is a tropicopolitan ant, known in some places as the "crazy ant" because of its rapid movements. Previously collected in Guam by Fullaway in 1911 . Apparently it is rare, as we have it from only two localities.
