Cyatta
''Cyatta'' is a genus of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae containing the single species ''Cyatta abscondita''. It is considered the most recent ancestor of all fungus-farming ants and a living fossil. ==Etymology== ''Cyatta'' is a neologism constructed in part from the Brazilian Tupi language word ''Cy'', meaning "sister," referring to its status, along with the genus ''Kalathomyrmex'', as the sister clade to the remaining genera of the informal clade Neoattini, to which the genus ''Atta'', the most conspicuous member of the Neoattini, belongs. The specific name ''abscondita'' refers to the exceedingly secretive nature of this species, which, after being recognized from a few rare specimens, proved frustratingly elusive during multiple attempts to locate it in the field.〔
