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:
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“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)
