Dolichoderinae is a subfamily of ants, which includes species such as the Argentine ant, the erratic ant, the odorous house ant, and the cone ant. The subfamily presents a great diversity of species throughout the world, distributed in different biogeographic realms, from the Palearctic, Nearctic, Afrotropical region and Malaysia, to the Middle East, Australian, and Neotropical regions.
Amyrmex golbachi is a rare Neotropical species of ant and the only known species in the genus Amyrmex. It is currently only known from males from the Amazon basin of Brazil and from northern Argentina.
Anillidris is a genus of ants which only contains the species Anillidris bruchi. The genus is known only from a few collections in Brazil and Argentina. For a time Anillidris was synonymous with genus Linepithema, but was revived from synonymy by Shattuck (1992).
Ecphorella wellmani is a species of ant and the only known species of genus Ecphorella. The species is only known from workers from the type locality in Benguela, Angola. Nothing is known about their biology.
Loweriella boltoni is a species of ant and is the only known species of genus Loweriella. The species is only known from workers collected in the rainforest in Sarawak, Malaysia.
Leptomyrmex, or spider ants, is a genus of ants and a distinctive member of the ant subfamily Dolichoderinae. Commonly known as "spider ants" for their long legs and spider-like movements, these orange and black ants are prominent residents of intact wet forest and sclerophyll habitats throughout their range. One extant species, Leptomyrmex relictus, is known from central Brazil; otherwise, the global distribution of this genus is restricted to eastern Australia, New Caledonia and New Guinea, as well as the nearby Indonesian islands of Aru and Seram.
Iridomyrmex is a genus of ants called rainbow ants first described by Austrian entomologist Gustav Mayr in 1862. He placed the genus in the subfamily Dolichoderinae of the family Formicidae. It has 79 described species and five fossil species. Most of these ants are native to Australia; others are found in Asia and Oceania, and they have been introduced to Brazil, New Zealand, and the United Arab Emirates. Fossil species are known from China, France, and the United States.
Bothriomyrmex is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dolichoderinae.
Philidris is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dolichoderinae. The genus is known from tropical forests from eastern India to northern Australia. It is similar to the genus Iridomyrmex, from where the type species was transferred from by Shattuck (1992).
Ochetellus is a genus of ants first described by Steve Shattuck in 1992. He placed it in the subfamily Dolichoderinae of the family Formicidae. The ants in this genus are small and black in colour; workers measure 1.75 to 3 millimetres in length, the males at around 1.6 millimetres (0.06 in) are smaller, and the queens are the largest, reaching 4 millimetres (0.16 in). There are seven described species and three described subspecies that mostly live in Australia in a wide variety of habitats, but some species are found in Asia. One species, Ochetellus glaber, has been introduced into New Zealand and the United States.
Papyrius is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dolichoderinae. The genus is known only from Australia and New Guinea, where they nest in dead wood in forested areas.
Papyrius flavus is a species of ant in the genus Papyrius. Endemic to Australia, it was described by Mayr in 1865.
Papyrius nitidus is a species of ant in the genus Papyrius. Endemic to Australia and New Guinea, it was described by Mayr in 1862.
Iridomyrmex rufoniger is a species of ant in the genus Iridomyrmex. It was described by Lowne in 1865. The species is endemic to Australia and introduced to several other countries.
Froggattella kirbii, commonly known as the common froglet ant is a species of ant in the genus Froggattella. The species is common in drier sclerophyll areas in various states of Australia.
Dolichoderus debilis is a species of ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by Emery in 1890, the species is found in many countries in two continents, including Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Panama, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela.
Dolichoderus diversus is a species of ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by Emery in 1894, the species has a widespread distribution in multiple countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guyana, Mexico, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela.
Dolichoderus doriae is a species of ant in the genus Dolichoderus. It was described by Emery in 1887.
