Ectatomma
''Ectatomma'' is a Neotropical genus of ants in the subfamily Ectatomminae. The genus contains 17 described extant species and one extinct species. Distribution and habitat ''Ectatomma'' is one of the most common genera in the Neotropical region, with most species being South American in their distribution, but others can be found in Central America as well as sparse populations in the Caribbean. ''Ecatomma'' may be found in rainforests, savannas, dry environments and cultivated areas.

Ectatomma Parasiticum
''Ectatomma parasiticum'' is a species of ant in the subfamily Ectatomminae. Known from Mexico, the species is a social parasite of the related species ''Ectatomma tuberculatum''. It is the only parasitic species described in the Ectatomminae subfamily, and among the rare inquilines from the tropics. Parasitism ''Ectatomma parasiticum'' shares several life-history traits with other workerless inquiline ants: rarity, local distribution, variation in abundance, limited dispersal, intracolonial mating, queen miniaturization, morphological similarity with its host A host is a person responsible for guests at an event or for providing hospitality during it. Host may also refer to: Places * Host, Pennsylvania, a village in Berks County People *Jim Host (born 1937), American businessman * Michel Host ..., and quasiexclusive production of sexuals. Some of these parasitic traits, the polygynous population of the host, and the association between sibling species are arguments ...
