Genus Tetramorium Mayr View in CoL
There is one native species of Tetramorium in California, T. spinosum (Pergande) , which occurs in open dry habitats of southern California, and one introduced European species, T. caespitum (Linnaeus) (the pavement ant), which is found in urban and agricultural areas of central and northern California. Both are groundnesting, with generalist foraging habits. Four other nonnative species, of tropical origin, have been recorded occasionally from the state.
