Description

Building a mud nest in the ground under a rock. The closest species I could come to on colouring and collecting records was Auplopus australis, though only the male described and in this female it appears to lack any orange apically on the mandibles. Similar looking species are found in Auplopus, Fabriogenia and Phanagenia.
