The Dinosaur ant is a large ant from northeastern Brazil. It has a venomous sting that it uses to subdue big live prey and to defend its nest. Scientists are studying its venom because it may be useful for medicines.1

It lives in Caatinga, Cerrado, upland humid forest and Atlantic forest. Nests are usually built at the base of trees, although in Atlantic forest about 60% of nests were 3 m away from any tree. Its nests are deeper than those of some related species.1

It mostly eats scavenged invertebrates, which are animals without a backbone. It also takes live prey, seeds and fruit. Its diet is similar across the genus, whatever the habitat.1

Ñu ngi koy faral di jaxasoo ak: It is most often confused with Dinoponera mutica. Dinoponera quadriceps has a dull, finely textured surface, no striped throat and a petiole (the narrow waist segment) that bulges at its upper front edge. Dinoponera mutica has a rougher surface, a striped throat and a petiole with even, non-bulging corners.1

This ant has no queen. All individuals are similar in form and can reproduce.1

In laboratory tests on mice, its venom reduced pain.1

Its nests are deeper than those of Dinoponera gigantea, which may help it cope with dry seasons.1

Of all the Dinoponera ants, this species has the largest colonies.1
