Habitat
A. decemarticulatus are neotropical, so they are located in the Amazonian tropics of South America. They seem to prefer living in H. physophora, which range is limited to Brazil and French Guiana, so it seems that their own range is limited by the range of the plant, because the ants are only found where the plant lives. They live and hunt on H. physophora, living in leaf pouches and patrolling the plant’s stem for prey.
