FG 90 Gnamptogenys
Subfamily: Ponerinae Distribution: Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica: Pacific lowlands from Punta Quepos northward. Also seems to be some Australian species. Can't say I know anything about this genus. |

The distribution would be more succinctly summarized as the tropics of the Americas, and of Asia to Australia.
Speaking of Gnamptogenys, this is hot off the presses, as part of the Wilson Festschrift: Lattke, J. E., F. Fernndez and E. E. Palacio G.. 2007.

Just noticed the subfamily classification above...
Gnamptogenys is a member of the subfamily Ectatomminae, a group superficially similar to Ponerinae, but in fact, on both essential morphological and DNA sequential grounds, more closely related to Myrmicinae and Formicinae. Other members of this subfamily are, of course Ectatomma, and the species-rich Asutralian genus Rhytidoponera. |
