Lordomyrma is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae.[4]
Distribution and habitat
The genus is known principally from Melanesia and Australia , with the one exception to this otherwise circumscribed distribution being the single species L. azumai from Japan . Most species are denizens of the leaf litter in wet forest habitat, but some are known to nest and forage arboreally.[5]
Description
Members of the genus are small and inconspicuous, maintain colonies of modest size and tend to be shy and retiring when disturbed.[5]
