Colobopsis abdita (synonym Camponotus abditus) is a species of carpenter ant endemic to Guatemala. It was described by Forel in 1899.[1]
Based on specimen collections, C. abditus ants are found in montane rainforest edge habitats, at elevations of 1,140 metres (3,740 ft).[2] This species is rather small. Workers are normally 3.5 – 4 mm in length, soldiers at 5 – 6 mm, males at 4 - 4.5 mm, and the queens are 7.5 mm, making them the largest of the colony.[3]
