It was named after the Harry Potter villain, Voldemort. This species was found in the Pilbara region in the Western Australian outback.[2]
This species is said to live underground and is described as having an extremely "ghostly and slender" appearance[3], as well as having sharp fangs. Researchers are hoping that this scientific discovery will bring to light a better understanding of subterranean ants.[2] It was described by Mark Wong.
