Tanipone is a Malagasy genus of ants in the subfamily Cerapachyinae.[1][2] Species of Tanipone are predominantly terrestrial to subarboreal, being found as ground foragers in leaf litter, under stones, in rotten stumps and in rotten logs. Just as commonly workers have been captured on low vegetation, in living and dead stems above the ground and in rot pockets in tree trunks.[3]
