Pheidole obtusospinosa is a species of ant and a higher myrmicine in the family Formicidae.[1][2][3][4][5]

Pheidole obstuspinosa has evolved big, chunky, squared heads, because they protect the colony from dangerous ant species, for example Eciton burchelli, the army ant, like blocking enterances to the colony.
