RemarksExalloniscus papillosus lives in association with different ants but it is not a strictly myrmecophilous species. It was recorded with Pseudoneoponera tridentata ( Smith, 1858) View in CoL , Anoplolepis gracilipes ( Smith, 1857) View in CoL , Diacamma rugosum ( Le Guillou, 1842) View in CoL , and Polyrhachis proxima Roger, 1863 View in CoL ( Taiti and Ferrara 1988). This species occurs also in caves but it does not show troglomorphic characters.
