Monomorium ergatogyna is a species of ant in the family Formicidae. This species is often mistaken for Monomorium minimum as they are similar in appearance. This ant is a shiny black color and contains only a single worker caste, making them a monomorphic species. It is also polygyne, meaning a colony contains multiple fertile queens living together. They are native to California, Nevada, and Utah and are usually found in cities or on the coast. When compared to other Monomorium species, they are found to have the longest living queens and can live up 2 years in captivity. Argentine ants have been discovered to be actively pushing this species out of its original territory.
