List of ant genera

{{#if:|}}

Ants (family Formicidae in the order Hymenoptera) are the most species-rich of all social insects, with more than 12,000 described species and many others awaiting description.<ref name="Ward_2007">Template:Citation</ref> Formicidae is divided into 21 subfamilies, of which 17 are extant and four subfamilies are extinct, described from fossils. In total more than 300 genera have been described.<ref name="AntCat_Formicidae"/> Ants have come to occupy virtually all major terrestrial habitats, with the exception of tundra and cold ever-wet forests. They display a wide range of social behaviors, foraging habits and associations with other organisms, which has generated scientific and public interest.<ref name="Ward_2007"/>

The following is a list of worldwide ant genera organised by subfamily.

Key

Genus name	The scientific name of the genus.
Binomial authority	The binomial authority—the person who first described the species using an available scientific name.
Classified	The year the genus was formally described and classified.
No. of species	The number of species, both extant and extinct, that are members of the genus.
Type species	The type species that was designated by the original author, unless noted otherwise. Extinct taxa are indicated by a †.
Example image	An image (if available) of a species who is a member of the genus.
References	Most citations provided are the first publications that describe the genus; additional citations are added if the original source does not contain all provided information.

Subfamilies

Agroecomyrmecinae

The subfamily Agroecomyrmecinae represents two extant genera and two fossil genera, once widespread in both hemispheres during the early Tertiary.<ref name="AntCat_Agroecomyrmecinae">Template:AntCat</ref><ref name="Brown_Kempf_1968">Template:Cite journal</ref> The subfamily was originally classified as Agroecomyrmecini, a Myrmicinae tribe until English myrmecologist Barry Bolton raised the tribe to subfamily status in 2003.<ref name="Carpenter_1930">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name="Bolton_2003"/> Most specimens collected are from Central America and Mexico, although one type specimen of an Agroecomyrmecinae species was collected from Ghana.<ref name="Donoso_2012">Template:Cite journal</ref>

Amblyoponinae

The subfamily Amblyoponinae represents nine extant genera and one fossil genus. Established by Swiss myrmecologist Auguste Forel in 1893, these ants are specialist predators, distributed worldwide in the tropics.<ref name="AWAmblyoponinae">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Dlussky_Wedmann_2012"/><ref name="Saux_et_al_2004">Template:Cite journal</ref>

Brownimeciinae

The subfamily Brownimeciinae contains the single genus Brownimecia which only has one species, Brownimecia clavata. It was described in 1997 after a fossilised specimen was collected from Cretaceous amber from New Jersey, and was initially placed in the subfamily Ponerinae.<ref name="Grimaldi_Agosti_Carpenter_1997"/> The species was later classified into its own subfamily in 2003 by Barry Bolton.<ref name="Bolton_2003">Template:Citation</ref>

Dolichoderinae

The subfamily Dolichoderinae was established by Forel in 1878, which represents 28 extant genera and 20 fossil genera. The subfamily presents a great diversity of species throughout the world, mainly in the tropics. Most species are generalised scavengers, but some are predacious.<ref name="Cardoso_et_al_2012">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name=Fisher2007/>

Formicinae

The subfamily Formicinae represents 51 extant genera and 30 fossil genera that are globally distributed. Established by French zoologist Pierre André Latreille in 1809, the subfamily has more than 3,000 described species, placing it as the second largest ant subfamily. Despite this, the hyperdiverse genus Camponotus is the most diverse group of ants in the world, with more than 1,100 species described.<ref name=Fisher2007/><ref name="AntCat_Camponotus">Template:AntCat</ref>

Martialinae

The subfamily Martialinae contains the single genus Martialis which only has one species, Martialis heureka. The ant was discovered in 2000 Amazon rainforest near Manaus, Brazil. Described in 2008, the ant belongs to the oldest known distinct lineage to have diverged from the ancestors of all other ants.<ref name=pnas/>

Myrmicinae

The subfamily Myrmicinae was established by Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau in 1835. It represents 142 extant genera and 36 fossil genera that are distributed globally. It is the largest subfamily of the Formicidae, with more than 6,758 species described. The seed-harvesting ants and fungus-growing ants are well known among the Myrmicines.<ref name=Fisher2007/><ref name="AntCat_Myrmicinae">Template:AntCat</ref>

Paraponerinae

The subfamily Paraponerinae contains a single genus Paraponera. This genus has two species, one of which was found in Dominican amber from the Miocene.<ref name="Baroni_Urbani_1994">Template:Cite journal</ref> The extant species, Paraponera clavata, is found in Central America and South America, and the pain from its sting is said to be greater than any other insect sting on earth.<ref name="Capinera_2008">Template:Cite book</ref>

Ponerinae

The subfamily Ponerinae was established by Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau in 1835, which represents 47 extant genera and 12 fossil genera. The subfamily is among the most diverse in the family Formicidae, with more than 1,000 species described. They are mostly distributed in the tropics and subtropics.<ref name="Bolton_2003"/><ref name=Fisher2007/>

Proceratiinae

The subfamily Proceratiinae was established by Italian entomologist Carlo Emery in 1895, which represents three extant genera and one extinct genus. Found worldwide, these ants are mainly encountered in tropical and subtropical areas. Little is known about their biology.<ref name=Fisher2007/><ref name="Sosa-Calvo_2007">Template:Cite book</ref>

Pseudomyrmecinae

The subfamily Pseudomyrmecinae was established by M.R. Smith in 1952,<ref name=Smith1952/> which represents three genera of ants that are primarily arboreal nesting ants in the tropical and subtropical regions.<ref name="Ward_1990">Template:Cite journal</ref> They are found in Africa, Asia, Australia, North America and South America.<ref name="AWPseudomyrmecinae">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Sphecomyrminae

The subfamily Sphecomyrminae contains 9 fossil genera of stem ants. Most fossilized ants from Cretaceous amber were placed in this subfamily, however revisions in 2017 and 2020 removed several genera and added former members of the subfamily Armaniinae.<ref name="Ward_2007"/><ref name="Barden_et_al_2013">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name="Perrichot2020"/>

Incertae sedis

There are several ant genera where their taxonomic placement is uncertain (incertae sedis). These genera have not yet been assigned to any subfamily within Formicidae; 16 genera are currently listed as incertae sedis.<ref name="AntCat_Formicidae">Template:AntCat</ref>

Formerly included in Formicidae

There are several genera which were formerly placed in Formicidae, but have subsequently been removed. These genera are now placed in other families, are considered incertae sedis within Hymenoptera taxonomy, or are considered invalid.<ref name="AntCat_Formicidae2">Template:AntCat</ref>
