Iridomyrmex victorianus is a species of ant in the genus Iridomyrmex. Described by Forel in 1902, the species distributed to the east coast in Australia, and interestingly, the species usually takes an opportunity by using other nests by larger ants, usually abandoned, and some were found in a bull ant nest (Myrmecia pyriformis).[1]
