Species
- Streblognathus aethiopicus (Smith, 1858)
- Streblognathus peetersi Robertson, 2002
Biology
Both species of Streblognathus lack morphological queens. They belong to the minority of Ponerinae in which all workers are able to mate and store sperm. Young nestmate workers interact aggressively to establish a dominance hierarchy that regulates which individual becomes the single gamergate (mated egglaying worker).[2]
