Dark rover ants are small brown ants that are typically less than 2.5 millimeters in length. [10] Worker ants in this species range from 1.0mm to 2.0mm, whereas queens are around 3.0mm. [12] Males are around 1.0mm in length. [12] The antennae of the worker ants contain nine segments which is common among all species of Brachymyrmex.
Brachymyrmex is a genus in the ants subfamily Formicinae. [2] The genus can be recognized by the combination of having nine antennal segments (fewer than most ants) and the petiole concealed by the gaster in dorsal view. They are sometimes called "rover ants". [3] [4]
Ants have come to occupy virtually all major terrestrial habitats, with the exception of tundra and cold ever-wet forests. They display a wide range of social behaviors, foraging habits and associations with other organisms, which has generated scientific and public interest. [1] The following is a list of worldwide ant genera organised by ...
Other species have adapted to live as inquilines in ant and termite colonies, and some live in mutualistic relationships with mammals whereby they eat fleas and other parasites, benefiting the host. A few species, notably those of the genus Aleochara , are scavengers and carrion feeders, or are parasitoids of other insects, particularly of ...

Myrmicinae is a subfamily of ants, with about 140 extant genera; [1] their distribution is cosmopolitan. The pupae lack cocoons. Some species retain a functional sting. The petioles of Myrmicinae consist of two nodes. The nests are permanent and in soil, rotting wood, under stones, or in trees. [2]
