Amblyopone
Amblyopone is an ancient group of predaceous ants found worldwide.
These subterranean ants have elongate mandibles and a characteristic broad
posterior attachment of the petiole. Many species, including the
widespread North American species A. pallipes and its close relative
A.
oregonensis, are specialist predators of centipedes.
