Solenopsis saevissima
''Solenopsis saevissima'', commonly known in Brazil as ''formiga ruiva'' (red ant), is one of more than 185 species in the genus ''Solenopsis''. It, along with 12 other species, is also a member of the ''Solenopsis saevissima'' species-group.
Although it's indigenous to South America, it has been imported to Africa and the Galápagos Islands. Currently, there is no evidence of it in the United States.〔 ''S. saevissima'' is known for its powerful and painful sting, hence the name "fire ant". It is a pest in horticulture and the current method of control is to introduce the scuttle fly phorid into its habitat. No further information about ''S. saevissima'' and its behaviors is known or studied except in Brazil.
==Etymology==
The scientific name for ''Solenopsis saevissima'' comes from the (ギリシア語:solen), which means pipe or channel, ''opsis'', which means appearance or sight 〔 and the Latin ''saevissima'', which means "the very cruel".〔 ''S. saevissima'' is named so because it is known to be even more vicious than S. invicta, the red imported fire ants, which costs the United States millions of dollars per year in agricultural, medical, and traffic-related damage.
