It is known to occur in the Nearctic, Neotropic, Indomalayan, and Australasian realms.<ref name="Lattke_et_al_2008" /> 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''.<ref name="camachoetal2022">{{cite journal |last1=Camacho |first1=G.P. |last2=Franco |first2=W. |last3=Branstetter|first3=M.G.|last4=Pie|first4=M.R.|last5=Longino|first5=J.T.|last6=Schultz|first6=T.R.|last7=Feitosa|first7=R.M.|display-authors=1|title=UCE phylogenomics resolves major relationships among ectaheteromorph ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Ectatomminae, Heteroponerinae): a new classification for the subfamilies and the description of a new genus. |journal=Insect Systematics and Diversity |date=25 January 2022 |volume=1 |issue=5 |page=1 |doi=10.1093/isd/ixab026 |url=https://academic.oup.com/isd/article/doi/10.1093/isd/ixab026/6514765 |access-date=21 November 2024 |ref=camachoetal2022|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
==Species== As of 2024, ''Gnamptogenys'' contains 37 species, five of which are extinct.<ref name="AntCat"/> This genus originally contained 146 species, but Camacho et al. 2022 moved many species into other genera.<ref name="camachoetal2022"/> [[File:Gnamptogenys bruchi casent0173382 profile 1.jpg|thumb|''Gnamptogenys bruchi'']] [[File:Gnamptogenys continua casent0173383 profile 1.jpg|thumb|''Gnamptogenys continua'']] [[File:Gnamptogenys hartmani casent0104773 profile 1.jpg|thumb|''Gnamptogenys hartmani'']] [[File:Gnamptogenys interrupta casent0178679 profile 1.jpg|thumb|''Gnamptogenys interrupta'']] [[File:Gnamptogenys mordax casent0178516 profile 1.jpg|thumb|''Gnamptogenys mordax'']] [[File:Gnamptogenys sulcata casent0173387 profile 1.jpg|thumb|''Gnamptogenys sulcata'']] [[File:Gnamptogenys regularis castype00616 profile 1.jpg|thumb|''Gnamptogenys regularis'']] {{div col|colwidth=30em}} *''Gnamptogenys acuminata'' *''Gnamptogenys alfaroi'' *''Gnamptogenys andersoni'' *''Gnamptogenys annulata'' *''Gnamptogenys biquetra'' *''Gnamptogenys boliviensis'' *''Gnamptogenys bruchi'' *†''Gnamptogenys casca'' *''Gnamptogenys concinna'' *''Gnamptogenys continua'' *''Gnamptogenys curvoclypeata'' *''Gnamptogenys ericae'' *†''Gnamptogenys europaea'' *''Gnamptogenys falcaria'' *''Gnamptogenys fernandezi'' *''Gnamptogenys flava'' *''Gnamptogenys haenschi'' *''Gnamptogenys hartmani'' *''Gnamptogenys horni'' *''Gnamptogenys interrupta'' *''Gnamptogenys kempfi'' *†''Gnamptogenys levinates'' *''Gnamptogenys mordax'' *''Gnamptogenys nana'' *†''Gnamptogenys pristina'' *''Gnamptogenys regularis'' *''Gnamptogenys rimulosa'' *†''Gnamptogenys rohdendorfi'' *''Gnamptogenys rugimala'' *''Gnamptogenys rumba'' *''Gnamptogenys schmitti'' *''Gnamptogenys siapensis'' *''Gnamptogenys stellae'' *''Gnamptogenys sulcata'' *''Gnamptogenys tortuolosa'' *''Gnamptogenys transversa'' *''Gnamptogenys volcano'' {{div col end}}
