Giving their name also as gliding ants.[1][2] The species is native of a large part of Central and South America, from the Argentinian region of Corrientes in the south, to the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, even to the American state of Texas in the north, making it one of the species with the largest native area of its genus.[3] Their larger and flatter legs, a trait common with other members of the genus Cephalotes, gives them their gliding abilities.[4] The species was first given a description and a classification in 1804 by Danish entomologist Johan Christian Fabricius, and Cephalotes minutus is part of his classification, which is the first modern classification of insects.
