Résumé
Notes on a remarkable xenobiose between the Neotropical ants Strumigenys saliens Mayr, 1887 and Solenopsis (Diplorhoptrum) sp. (Hym., Formicidae, Myrmicinae). We report hereafter the occurrence in Brazil of a remarkable xenobiotic association between two species of Myrmicinae of different genera : Strumigenys saliens Mayr, 1 887 (Dacetini tribe) and its guest Solenopsis (Diplorhoptrum) sp. (Solenopsidini tribe). Due to the very particular behaviour observed in S. saliens, the existence of a chemical mimicry is probable, which makes this ant a possible social parasite of Solenopsis (Diplorhoptrum) sp. This association is original for the Strumigenys genus, where it is only known few cases of homogeneric inquilinism.
