Biology
Taxonomy:
Wheeler (1934) described fulvus and a subspecies sublucidus from three collections from Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Stefan Cover (pers. comm.) examined the types of both and can find no significant differences; the three collections are almost certainly from the same population. Cover also compared the fulvus types to the images on this page, and confirmed their gross similarity.
Natural History:
Wheeler reported that his three collections were all from "flat carton sheds with coccids on the bark of living trees." Ward's collection was of four workers on low vegetation, 0.5-2m above the ground. Longino's collection was from a carton nest under a live leaf of Cardulovica (Cyclanthacaceae), at the base of the blade and sheathing the upper portion of the petiole.
