| description | Cryptopone ochracea (Mayr, 1855) is a hypogeous ant species with a poorly known biology. Usually, alate or dealate queens are recorded by myrmecologists. Data on the species distribution is scarce. However, the species occurs mainly in the southern part of Europe. In Romania, the species was previously known from only two locations. Herein, we report new records of the species during a 6-year observation period. Insights on the species swarming activity are given. |
