| Abstract: | An unidentified species of Drapetis is recorded from leaf fragments carried by foraging colombica. This is the first record of an association between Hybotidae and leaf-cutting and its possible significance is discussed. Other Atta associates, including Pholeomyia (Milichiidae) Apocephalus spinosus BROWN (Phoridae), and Acanthopria spec. (Hymenopte Diapriidae) are recorded as riding leaf fragments of A. colombica. |
