Gnamptogenys is a genus of ants in the subfamily Ectatomminae. [2] The genus has a wide distribution. It is known to occur in the Nearctic, Neotropic, Indomalayan and Australasian realms. [3] Camacho et al, 2022 revised this genus, significantly reducing its size to only 32 valid extant species and 5 valid fossil species by splitting off most species into four formerly synonymized genera Alfaria , Holcoponera , Poneracantha , and Stictoponera . [4]
