'''''Dilobocondyla bangalorica''''' is a [[species]] of [[ant]] in the subfamily [[Myrmicinae]]. This [[arboreal]] ant nests in dead wood and crevices in tree barks. The species name is after the [[type locality (biology)|type locality]], [[Bangalore]], where the ant was discovered in 2006.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://atbi.biosci.ohio-state.edu:210/hymenoptera/nomenclator.name_id_entry?id=196920 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120701141530/http://atbi.biosci.ohio-state.edu:210/hymenoptera/nomenclator.name_id_entry?id=196920 |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 July 2012 |title=''Dilobocondyla bangalorica'' Varghese |work=Hymenoptera Name Server, version 1.5 |date=19 December 2007 |access-date=24 June 2011 }}</ref>

The ants build their nest in the Frangipani plant species ''[[Plumeria]] alba'' and ''Plumeria rubra''. While they live in colonies like other ants, they forage individually on tree trunks. The spines on the head and [[thorax]] are blunt, thus differentiating this species from others. When foraging, these ants raise their gaster high up in the air, very similar to the acrobat ants, ''[[Crematogaster]]''. The species differs from other known species in the smaller size of worker and queen ants, the sculpted [[thorax]] and [[Petiole (insect)|pedicel]], colouration, six well defined mandibular teeth, and the lesser number of rugosities between the frontal carinae.<ref name="desc">{{cite journal |author=Thresiamma Verghese |year=2006 |title=A new species of the ant genus ''Dilobocondyla'' (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from India, with notes on nesting behaviour |journal=[[Oriental Insects]] |volume=40 |pages=23–32 |doi=10.1080/00305316.2006.10417454 |s2cid=73664638 |url=http://antbase.org/ants/publications/21093/21093_0023.pdf}}</ref>
