Gnamptogenys


Gnamptogenys is a genus of ants in the subfamily Ectatomminae. The genus has a wide distribution. It is known to occur in the Nearctic, Neotropic, Indomalayan and Australasian realms. 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.

Species

As of 2024, Gnamptogenys contains 37 species, five of which are extinct. This genus originally contained 146 species, but Camacho et al. 2022 moved many species into other genera.
