Gnamptogenys hartmani raiding?

Gnamptogenys hartmani is an ant that raids the fungus growing ants Trachymyrmex and Sericomyrmex. My question is, do they raid the also fungus growing Cyphomyrmex as well?

I found Gnamptogenys harmani ants, and owing to the fact that Cyphomyrmex rimosus is abundant here, I'm wondering if they are just raiding the Cyphopyrmex.

Update:

Epic pictures from Alex Wild demonstrating the appearance of these ants.
