Colony composition, arthropod egg predation, and antennal structure of the ant Discothyrea sauteri (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

The cryptic ant, Discothyrea sauteri, which nests in small cavities in the soil, was collected from a single locality in Kanagawa Prefecture, in central Japan, permitting us to obtain detailed information on colony population, social structure, and colony founding, based on field data and laboratory rearing.
