Ces espèces ont la particularité de ne pas avoir de jabot social et donc de ne pas pratiquer la trophallaxie .
L'autre originalité de ces espèces est leur régime alimentaire, composé presque exclusivement de graines
Elles sont granivores, mais elles peuvent aussi bien chasser des insectes.
L’absence de trophallaxie est compensée par un système communautaire d’approvisionnement et de prédigestion de la nourriture. Ce genre de fourmis est principalement monogyne, c'est-à-dire qu'une colonie n'a qu'une seule reine.
On peut trouver avec les Messor de la zone afrotropicale des insectes associés, dont des Pentaplatarthrus et des Paussus (Carabidae )[1] .
