Pheidole moerens is a species of big-headed ant described by myrmecologist William Morton Wheeler in 1908.[1]
This species of ant is native to Venezuela and the Caribbean Islands. It previously contained three subspecies, however, all three were synonymized under the parent taxon by Wilson, 2003.[2][3][4][5][6][7] It was originally thought to be invasive in California, the southeastern United States, and Hawaii, however those populations were later found to be a different species, Pheidole navigans.[8]
