Ecological and biological notes

Two workers were collected foraging on the ground immediately after sunset. In the Asir Mountains, a single worker was observed by Collingwood (1985) foraging on ground in the early morning. Nothing is specifically known regarding the ecology of this species

Geographic range

Anochetus sedilloti was originally described from Tunisia and has been recorded from KSA, India, and North Africa ( Collingwood 1985). It is widespread in the Sahel area of Africa ( Taylor et al. 2016; Diame et al. 2017). The genus is first recorded from Oman by the new species Anochetus annetteae Sharaf, 2017 . Our collections represent a new species record for Oman.
