Stigmatomma Pallipes
''Stigmatomma pallipes,'' or vampire ant, is a species of ant in the subfamily In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: ', plural ') is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end subfamily botanical names with "-oideae", and zoologi ... Amblyoponinae. It is one of three species of S''tigmatomma'' native to North America. They can be hard to find due to their habitat and small colony size. Description A reddish-brown ant, generally . Habitat Individuals are typically found in wooded areas, in damp soil and leaf litter. Nests are usually found in soil under rocks, rotting logs, or at the base of trees. Colonies are small, typically consisting of anywhere between two and sixty individuals, although the latter is uncommon.

Samuel Stehman Haldeman
Samuel Stehman Haldeman (August 12, 1812 – September 10, 1880) was an American naturalist and philologist. During a long and varied career he studied, published, and lectured on geology, conchology, entomology and philology. He once confided, "I never pursue one branch of science more than ten years, but lay it aside and go into new fields." Early life and education Haldeman was born in Locust Grove, Pennsylvania on August 12, 1812, the oldest of seven children of Henry Haldeman and Frances Stehman Haldeman. Locust Grove was the family estate on the Susquehanna River, twenty miles below Harrisburg. His father was a prosperous businessman and his mother was an accomplished musician who died when Haldeman was twelve years old. In 1826, he was sent to Harrisburg to attend school at the Classical Academy, run by John M. Keagy. After two years in the academy, he enrolled at Dickinson College where his interest in natural history was encouraged by his professor, Henry Darwin Rogers, ...

Amblyoponinae
Amblyoponinae is a subfamily of ants in the poneromorph subfamilies group containing 13 extant genera and one extinct genus. The ants in this subfamily are mostly specialized subterranean predators. Adult workers pierce the integument (non lethally) of their larvae and pupa to imbibe haemolymph, earning them the common name Dracula ant. Identification Amblyoponinae is characterized by these worker characters: eyes small or absent, situated behind midlength of side of head; anterior margin of clypeus with specialized dentiform setae; promesonotal suture flexible; petiole very broadly attached to abdominal segment 3 and without a distinct posterior face; postpetiole absent; sting present and well developed. Systematics The subfamily was formerly considered a tribe within Ponerinae, but was elevated to its own subfamily in 2003 when Barry Bolton Barry Bolton is an English Myrmecology, myrmecologist, an expert on the classification, systematics, and taxonomy of ants, who long w ...

Stigmatomma
''Stigmatomma'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Amblyoponinae. The genus has a worldwide distribution, and like most other amblyoponines, ''Stigmatomma'' species are specialized predators. First described by Roger (1859), it was for a long time considered to be a synonym of '' Amblyopone'' until it was revived as an independent genus by Yoshimura & Fisher (2012) based on worker mandible morphology.
