Suborder Apocrita Rank Species | Family Formicidae | |
Cephalotes liogaster is a species of arboreal ant of the genus Cephalotes, characterized by an odd-shaped head and the ability to "parachute" by steering their fall if they drop off of the tree they are on. Because of this, they are colloquially referred to as gliding ants.
