'''''Stigmatomma''''' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Amblyoponinae.<ref name="AntCat"/> The genus has a worldwide distribution, and like most other amblyoponines, ''Stigmatomma'' species are specialized predators.<ref name="Garcia_et_al_2013"/> First described by Roger (1859), it was for a long time considered to be a synonym of ''Amblyopone'' until it was revived as an independent genus by Yoshimura & Fisher (2012) based on worker mandible morphology.<ref name="Yoshimura&Fisher_2012"/>

==Species== As of 2026, ''Stigmatomma'' contains 58 valid species, including 56 extant and two extinct.<ref name="AntCat"/> ===Extant species=== {{div col}} *''Stigmatomma amblyops'' Karavaiev, 1935 *''Stigmatomma annae'' (Arnol'di, 1968) *''Stigmatomma awa'' (Xu & Chu, 2012) *''Stigmatomma bellii'' (Forel, 1900) *''Stigmatomma besucheti'' (Baroni Urbani, 1978) *''Stigmatomma bolabola'' Esteves & Fisher, 2016 *''Stigmatomma boltoni'' (Bharti & Wachkoo, 2011) *''Stigmatomma bruni'' Forel, 1912 *''Stigmatomma caliginosum'' (Onoyama, 1999) *''Stigmatomma crenatum'' (Xu, 2001) *''Stigmatomma crypticum'' (Eguchi et al., 2015) *''Stigmatomma denticulatum'' Roger, 1859 *''Stigmatomma draconis'' Hamer et al., 2023 *''Stigmatomma emeryi'' Saunders, 1890 *''Stigmatomma eminia'' (Zhou, 2001) *''Stigmatomma feae'' Emery, 1895 *''Stigmatomma fulvidum'' (Terayama, 1987) *''Stigmatomma gaetulicum'' (Baroni Urbani, 1978) *''Stigmatomma impressifrons'' Emery, 1869 *''Stigmatomma irayhady'' Esteves & Fisher, 2016 *''Stigmatomma janovitsika'' Esteves & Fisher, 2016 *''Stigmatomma kangba'' (Xu & Chu, 2012) *''Stigmatomma liebe'' Esteves & Fisher, 2016 *''Stigmatomma luyiae'' Hsu et al., 2017 *''Stigmatomma luzonicum'' Wheeler & Chapman, 1925 *''Stigmatomma magnum'' Wimolsuthikul et al., 2025 *''Stigmatomma meilianum'' (Xu & Chu, 2012) *''Stigmatomma minutum'' Forel, 1913 *''Stigmatomma mulanae'' (Xu, 2000) *''Stigmatomma noonadan'' (Taylor, 1965) *''Stigmatomma normandi'' Santschi, 1915 *''Stigmatomma octodentatum'' (Xu, 2006) *''Stigmatomma ophthalmicum'' (Baroni Urbani, 1978) *''Stigmatomma oregonense'' Wheeler, 1915 *''Stigmatomma pagei'' Hamer et al., 2023 *''Stigmatomma pallipes'' (Haldeman, 1844) *''Stigmatomma pertinax'' (Baroni Urbani, 1978) *''Stigmatomma pluto'' (Gotwald & Lévieux, 1972) *''Stigmatomma quadratum'' Karavaiev, 1935 *''Stigmatomma reclinatum'' (Mayr, 1879) *''Stigmatomma roahady'' Esteves & Fisher, 2016 *''Stigmatomma rothneyi'' (Forel, 1900) *''Stigmatomma rubiginoum'' (Wu & Wang, 1992) *''Stigmatomma sakaii'' (Terayama, 1989) *''Stigmatomma sakalava'' Esteves & Fisher, 2016 *''Stigmatomma santschii'' Menozzi, 1922 *''Stigmatomma scrobiceps'' (Guénard et al., 2013) *''Stigmatomma silvestrii'' Wheeler, 1928 *''Stigmatomma testaceum'' (Motschoulsky, 1863) *''Stigmatomma trigonignathum'' (Brown, 1949) *''Stigmatomma trilobum'' (Xu, 2001) *''Stigmatomma tsyhady'' Esteves & Fisher, 2016 *''Stigmatomma xui'' Bharti & Rilta, 2015 *''Stigmatomma zaojun'' (Terayama, 2009) *''Stigmatomma zoma'' (Xu & Chu, 2012) *''Stigmatomma zwaluwenburgi'' Williams, 1946 {{div col end}}
