Liomyrmex is a monotypic genus of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae; the type species is L. gestroi . This genus is known to inhabit Southeast Asia (including Papua New Guinea), South Asia, and parts of Southern China. Individuals in this genus are blind and are known to live among termites in their chambers, but it is relatively unknown as to the purpose of such a relationship. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Paratrechina is one of seven ant genera in the Prenolepis genus-group from the subfamily Formicinae. Six species are included in Paratrechina; one of which, the longhorn crazy ant, is a widespread, pantropical pest.
Odontomachus, or trap-jaw ants, is a genus of omnivorous ants found in the tropics and subtropics throughout the world.
Gracilidris is a genus of dolichoderine ants with nocturnal behaviour; thought to have gone extinct 15-20 million years ago, they have been found in Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina and were described in 2006.
Cryptopone is a genus of ants in the subfamily Ponerinae. The genus has a worldwide distribution, with most species occurring in Asia. Workers range from very small to medium in size (1.7–6.1 mm), with the queens being slightly larger.
Plectroctena is an Afrotropical genus of ants, with most species occurring in the rainforest zones of West and Central Africa. Some species are cryptic or subterranean foragers, while others forage in open grassland terrain. The workers forage singly or in groups of 2 to 3. They nest in the earth at varying depths, or in collapsed logs. They prey mainly on millipedes, including their young or eggs.
Manica is a genus of ants within the subfamily Myrmicinae. To date it contains six known species.
Linepithema is a genus of small ants in the subfamily Dolichoderinae.
Forelius is a Neotropical genus of ants in the subfamily Dolichoderinae. The genus is known from southern United States to Argentina.
Calyptomyrmex is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus is distributed from Africa to India and east to New Caledonia. They are mainly found in the rainforest, where they forage alone or in small numbers.
Indomyrma is an Asian genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus contains two species: the type species Indomyrma dasypyx known from India and Indomyrma bellae known from Vietnam.
Lordomyrma is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae.
Lasiomyrma is a South-East Asian genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus is mainly known from tropical rainforests in Sundaland.
Anillomyrma is an Asian genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae.
Chimaeridris is a small genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus contains two species known from tropical Asia. Their unique hook-shaped mandibles and similar appearance to Pheidole minor workers raises the possibility that the genus is a slave-maker of Pheidole ants or a specialized predator.
Acanthomyrmex is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus is known from South East Asia. Its species are dimorphic, with major workers in some genera having heads twice the length than that of the minor workers. They live in small colonies and are rarely collected in the field. There are 17 species of Acanthomyrmex.
Pseudolasius is a genus of ants in the subfamily Formicinae. The genus is known from southern Asia to northern Australia, where it appears to be restricted to tropical areas.
Prenolepis is a genus of ants in the subfamily Formicinae. Most species are found in southeastern Asia and southern China, but the genus has a wide distribution with species known from North America, southern Europe, Anatolia, Cuba, Haiti, and West Africa.
Emeryopone is a small genus of ants in the subfamily Ponerinae. The genus is distributed in Asia, from Israel to Indonesia. Little is known about their biology, and males remain unknown.
Chronoxenus is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dolichoderinae. The genus is known from Asia.
Paraponera is a genus of ants and the only genus in the subfamily Paraponerinae. The name means "near-Ponera".
