''Forelius pruinosus'' is a species of ant in the genus ''Forelius''. Described by Roger in 1863, the species is endemic to North America.〔Cuezzo, F. 2000. Revisión del género ''Forelius'' (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Dolichoderinae). ''Sociobiology'' 35: 197-275 (page 261, Senior synonym of ''testaceus'')〕 ==Distribution== ''Forelius pruinosus'' ants live in the United States, Cuba and Mexico, where they exist in northern portions of the U.S., and their range could possibly extend further into South America.〔 In Mexico, they live in a broad range of habitats and can be found in desert regions, grasslands and various sorts of woodland.〔Mackay, W. P. and E. Mackay. 2002. The ants of New Mexico (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Edwin Mellen Press, Lewiston, NY.〕 They also nest under stones, but they usually prefer to nest in soil instead.〔 Fields, meadows and pastures are ideal habitats for the species, and they will colonise woodland areas that are more open spaced. Methyl-n-amyl ketone chemicals are said to be marked on foraging tracks by these ants.〔 These ants thrive in hot weather and dry conditions, and they are mostly active when it is hot, and will not forage during the night possibly because of cooler temperatures.〔
