Scientific Summary

GBIF Taxonomic Backbone & Wikipedia Registry Profile

Diagnosis. Tetramorium ultor can be recognised by the following combination of characters: relatively smaller species (WL 0.85 - 0.96); very large eyes (OI 33 - 36); propodeum armed with short teeth (PSLI 10 - 13); petiolar node in profile around 1.1 to 1.2 times higher than long (LPeI 86 - 92); dorsum of promesonotum unsculptured, smooth, and very shiny; body of uniform light to chestnut brown, appendages often lighter.
Biology & Conservation

Ecologically, the conservation status of Tetramorium ultor is officially designated as Not Evaluated. Current field registries estimate a global population composed of an unquantified number of individuals, making habitat preservation critical to maintaining their wild populations.

It is typically endemic to forest, showing great physiological synergy with its surroundings. In terms of dietary preferences, it relies primarily on a diet of diverse organic matter. It exhibits specialized adaptations centered around a its natural cycle activity pattern, optimizing its energy conservation and interactions within its native ecosystem.

Ongoing biological monitoring and ecological advocacy emphasize the importance of protecting this species. The stability of its food chain and the prevention of fragmentation in its primary range are vital for the continued survival of Tetramorium ultor.
