Neivamyrmex

Neivamyrmex is a genus of army ants in the subfamily Dorylinae.
Range
Neivamyrmex species can be found from the central United States to southern Argentina.
Taxonomy
As of 2021, 129 Neivamyrmex species have been identified. However, most research pertaining to this genus is based on a single species, Neivamyrmex nigriscens, from which knowledge about Neivamyrmex overall is derived. Many species are known based only on a small number of male individuals.
Biology
Neivamyrmex do not build permanent nests; instead, colonies are nomadic, establishing temporary bivouacs every night before moving on to a new location. Most species are predominantly subterranean, but they will occasionally forage above ground at night or on cloudy days. The larvae and pupae of other ant species are the principle food of Neivamyrmex, including ants of the genera Veromessor, Pheidole, Solenopsis, and Formica.
Male Neivamyrmex possess wings, while queens are flightless. Fertilization of queens may occur purely within the colony, with mating occurring between brothers and sisters, or unrelated males may fly in from foreign colonies to reproduce. After being fertilized, new queens will found new colonies by leaving their natal colonies alongside a large number of workers.
