i5K Comments for Cyphomyrmex faunulus
C. faunulus, a member of the Cyphomyrmex strigatus group, is a rain-forest species that is widespread in South America, ranging across the Guiana Shield, the Amazon Basin, and the Atlantic Forest. Its colonies are frequently encountered in rotten logs. Like all members of the C. strigatus group, it cultivates the mycelial form of lower attine leucocoprineaceous fungi. Nests of C. faunulus almost invariably contain ant exoskeletons and beetle elytra imported by the ants for unknown reasons. Given the phylogenetic position of the C. strigatus group, comparative genomic data from a member of the C. strigatus group will be important for understanding the stepwise evolutionary history of the Neoattini.
