# Iridomyrmex adstringatus

Iridomyrmex adstringatus is a species of ant of the genus Iridomyrmex. Recently described in 2011 by Heterick & Shattuck, the species is rare to find, as specimens of this species have only been collected in South Australia. The first specimens collected were from the Coorong National Park.

## Etymology

In Latin, adstringatus is translated to "compressed" or "drawn together", which is in reference to the appearance of Iridomyrmex adstringatus ants.
