Ants belonging to the genus Gnamptogenys are important and diverse predators in the forests of the tropics of the Americas, Southeast Asia, and Australasia. The recent rapid accumulation of these ants in collections rendered the last revision obsolete, raising the number of known species from about 80 to over 120 worldwide. The present study recognizes 49 Old World species, almost half of them new, distributed among 5 species groups.
