List Of Ant Genera (alphabetical)
The following is a thus far incomplete list of worldwide ant genera. Those no longer considered current nomenclature are marked with an asterisk (*).
Genera are often named after famous myrmecologists - e.g. Donisthorpea was named to honour Horace Donisthorpe, Forelius for Auguste Forel, Janetia for Charles Janet, Wheeleriella for William M. Wheeler. See the list of notable myrmecologists for a compilation of these people.

Famous quotes containing the words list, ant and/or genera:
“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“An ant on the tablecloth
Ran into a dormant moth
Of many times his size.
He showed not the least surprise.
His business wasn’t with such.
He gave it scarcely a touch,”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Genius detects through the fly, through the caterpillar, through the grub, through the egg, the constant individual; through countless individuals the fixed species; through many species the genus; through all genera the steadfast type; through all the kingdoms of organized life the eternal unity. Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
