Dinoponera mutica is a queenless species of ants in the subfamily Ponerinae.[1]
Dinoponera mutica workers can be identified by their smooth and shiny integument with a bluish luster, a rounded pronotal corner lacking a tooth-like process, gular striations on the ventral surface of the head, long and flagellate pubescence, scape length longer than head width and petiole with even dorsal corners.[2]
Males are unknown.[2]
