Trachypus varius (Taschenberg, 1875)

We found nine nests distributed in three divisions: 97

(n = 1); 128 (n = 3); 129 (n = 5). The isolate nest in divi- sion 97 was near to a small aggregation of T. elongatus (n = 5). Females of this species were observed only in January 2019, in the nest provisioning activity. A male was observed once in January, but an additional male was sampled in November 2017 in an isolated record.We only sampled one female carrying a worker of P.subnuda .
