Dorymyrmex
is a soil-nesting dolichoderine ant abundant in the warmer climates of the New World, particularly in open and arid habitats. Nests of these active, alert insects are usually marked by a characteristic volcano-shaped nest entrance.
Dorymyrmex bureni workers carry bits of excavated sand out from deep in their underground nest.
