Megaponera is a genus of ponerine ant first defined by Gustav Mayr in 1862 for the species Formica analis Latreille, 1802, [8] the sole species belonging to the genus to date. . In 1994 William L. Brown Jr. synonymised the genus under Pachycondyla even though he lacked phylogenetic justification, thereby changing the name from Megaponera foetens to Pachycondyla analis.

Dorylus spp. colonies also reach larger sizes than ...
Their ecological dominance has been examined primarily using estimates of their biomass: myrmecologist E. O. Wilson had estimated in 2009 that at any one time the total number of ants was between one and ten quadrillion (short scale) (i.e., between 10 15 and 10 16) and using this estimate he had suggested that the total biomass of all the ants ...
