Gnamptogenys is a genus of ants in the subfamily Ectatomminae.[2] The genus has a wide distribution. It is known to occur in the Nearctic, Neotropic, Indomalayan, and Australasian realms.[3] 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.[4]
