UPDATE: I just found that they do have antennae, but they are extremely small (smaller than their head).

And the more I look at them, the less they look like ants. Why they were in my house seemingly to try to blend in with the ants, I have no idea. They don't even fight back when the ants attack them, though they do try to get away.

Also, in examining why the ants are in my bathroom in the first place, it seems that there is no other reason than to attack these guys, who weren't anywhere to be seen beforehand. There are plenty of them now, though (mostly dead). Weird.
