Heteroponera brouni is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera. It is endemic to the North Island of New Zealand, and the Three Kings Islands.
Prionomyrmecini is an ant tribe belonging to the subfamily Myrmeciinae established by William Morton Wheeler in 1915. Two members are a part of this tribe, the extant Nothomyrmecia and the extinct Prionomyrmex. The tribe was once considered a subfamily due to the similarities between Nothomyrmecia and Prionomyrmex, but such reclassification was not widely accepted by the scientific community. These ants can be identified by their long slender bodies, powerful stingers and elongated mandibles. Fossil Prionomyrmecini ants were once found throughout Europe, possibly nesting in trees and preferring jungle habitats. Today, Prionomyrmecini is only found in Australia, preferring old-growth mallee woodland surrounded by Eucalyptus trees. Nothomyrmecia workers feed on nectar and arthropods, using their compound eyes for prey and navigational purposes. Owing to their primitive nature, they do not recruit others to food sources or create pheromone trails. Nothomyrmecia colonies are small, consisting of 50 to 100 individuals.
Myrmecia nigrocincta, commonly known as the jumper ant or jumping jack, is an ant of the genus Myrmecia. The species was first described by Frederick Smith in 1858. Colonies of this ant are abundant in eastern Australia. Ants of this species are known for their ability to jump up to 10 centimetres, and they also have a powerful, venomous sting. Rather than foraging on the ground, M. nigrocincta prefer to forage in trees where they are known to pollinate certain flowers.
Heteroponera crozieri is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera endemic to Australia. Described in 2011, the workers look similar to those of Heteroponera leae, although H. leae ants are more southerly distributed.
Heteroponera dentinodis is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera, endemic to Chile and Brazil. It was described by Mayr in 1887.
Heteroponera dolo is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera, endemic to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. It was described by Roger in 1860.
Heteroponera flava is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera. Endemic to Brazil and Paraguay, it was described by Kempf in 1962.
Heteroponera georgesi is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera. Endemic to French Guiana, it was described by Perrault in 1999.
Heteroponera imbellis is a species of ant, in the genus Heteroponera. Endemic to Australia, it was described by Emery in 1895.
Heteroponera inca is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera. Endemic to Colombia, it was described by William Louis Brown Jr. in 1958.
Heteroponera leae is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera. It is endemic to Australia, and was described by Wheeler in 1923. It has a similar appearance to Heteroponera crozieri ants, although H. crozieri ants are more northerly distributed.
Heteroponera majeri is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera. Endemic to Australia, it was recently described by Taylor in 2011. Its appearance is far different to other Heteroponera species that reside in Australia.
Heteroponera mayri is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera. Endemic to Brazil and Paraguay, it was described by Kempf in 1962.
Heteroponera microps is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera. Endemic to South America, it was described by Borgmeier in 1957.
Heteroponera monticola is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera. Described by Kempf and Brown in 1970, Colonies are mainly inhabit high wet regions in Colombia, particularly in parts where ants of whatever kind are scarce.
Heteroponera robusta is a species of ant in the genus Heteroponera. Endemic to Brazil, it was described by Kempf in 1962.
Iridomyrmex cyaneus is a species of ant in the genus Iridomyrmex. Described by Wheeler in 1915, these ants prefer dry desert like habitats in Australia, ranging from New South Wales to South Australia and Western Australia.
