The Ants of Africa
Distribution Card

NOTE - all the separation of the African specimens of Odontomachus haematodus into a distinct species was by Brown (1976a), and he used the Santschi (1914b) varietal name as the earliest available name for the "new species". Thus, some of the early records may in fact be for O. assiniensis
