Dorylus (Dorylus) aggressor Santschi
Type locality Zaïre (Santschi, 1923e: 268) collected at
Luluaborg, P. Callewaert, 15.v.1913; soldier and worker described (see
Bolton, 1995, who has the name mis-spelt agressor)
.
Santschi's (1923e) description of the major is at
and of the smaller morphs at
.
Santschi cites P. Callewaert as noting he found the colony in his
room, going from here to there, through a hole in the wall whence they
disappeared one after the other. Very aggressive (hence name "aggressor"?)
and the crabs (?) had climbed up the wall. The ants did not climb the
wall itself but ascended between wall and the wood of the door.
