A new household pest ant, Hypoponera ragusai, occurring widely in Japan
: The ant Hypoponera ragusai (Emery) belonging to the subfamily Ponerinae is one of the most widespread tramp species. This species has been recorded many oceanic and continental islands as well as all zoogeographical regions. Here, we report for the first time its presence in Japan’s mainland, from Hokkaido to Kyushu. Many alate female ants were observed indoors and ant colonies were found in the soil under the ground floors of buildings. H. ragusai could potentially become a significant household pest; stinging humans, causing a nuisance, and contaminating materials.
