Description	Liometopum microcephalum (PANZER, 1798) is a rare arboricolous ant, which forms large colonies of high ecological importance and ranks at the top position in the hierarchy of ant assemblages. Many aspects of the species' biology remain unknown due to its scattered occurrence and bad nest accessibility. Published information is sometimes inconsistent, such as in the case of worker polymorphism. Our objectives were (1) to determine the level of polymorphism, (2) to ascertain if workers occupied by different tasks differ in size, and (3) to assess the effect of competitors, habitat type and territory size (proxy for colony size) on worker size. Fifteen colonies, with or without a competing ant species in their vicinity, were sampled in spring and summer 2011 in the south-eastern part of the Czechia. Head width, head length, hind femur and tibia lengths were measured as indices of worker size.
