Leptomyrmex tibialis is a species of ant in the genus Leptomyrmex . First described by Carlo Emery in 1895 as Leptomyrmex nigriventris tibialis, the species is endemic to Australia, [2] [3] and found in both New South Wales and Queensland. [1] The arguments for synonymy were made by Lucky and Ward, [2] and the decision was accepted by the Australian Faunal Directory. [1]
