Odontomachus hastatus is a species of ant from the complex Odontomachus hastatus,[1][2] The species was originally described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1804.[3]
Description
Like other species of Odontomachus ants, the O. hastatus are easily recognised by their trap-like jaw, which with they catch and kill prey.[4]
Distribution
The range of O. hastatus covers the rainforests of Central and South America.[5] This is confirmed in recent observations through crowdsourcing initiatives [3]
