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.

“As a thinker and planner, the ant is the equal of any savage race of men; as a self-educated specialist in several arts, she is the superior of any savage race of men; and in one or two high mental qualities she is above the reach of any man, savage or civilized.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“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)
