Doleromyrma darwiniana is a species of ant in the genus Doleromyrma. Described by Forel in 1907, the species is endemic to Australia and introduced to New Zealand, and it nests in soil or under stones and logs.[1][2][3][4] The organism grows to a length between 2.0 and 3.0 millimeters.[4][5] This species of ant maintains small colony sizes and it "prefers protein food."[4] The species is also known by some sources as the "brown house ant" and "Darwin's ant".[4][5] The species is considered a "minor urban pest" in New South Wales.[5]
