Monomorium santschii is a species of ant that is native to Tunisia. The most famous species in the genus Monomorium is the highly invasive pharaoh ant, Monomorium pharaonis.
It is a parasitic ant that has no worker caste. The queen enters the colony of a different species and, probably by employing a pheromone, she forces the host workers to kill their queen. She then uses these workers as slaves to bring up her own offspring.

Monomorium santschii é uma espécie de formiga nativa da Tunísia.
É uma formiga parasita sem obreiras. A rainha entra numa colónia de outra espécie e faz (provavelmente recorrendo a algum mecanismo de controlo químico, como uma feromona) com que as obreiras da espécie hospedeira matem a sua própria rainha; depois disso as obreiras cuidam de e alimentam as crias da rainha invasora.[2]
