List of Myrmecia species

M. gulosa was designated as the type species of Myrmecia in 1840.^[1]

Myrmecia is a genus of small to large venomous ants commonly known as bulldog ants or jack jumper ants. The genus was first established by Danish zoologist Johan Christian Fabricius in 1804 and is placed in the subfamily Myrmeciinae of the family Formicidae. There are currently 94 described species in this genus, 93 of which are valid and identifiable.^[2][3] Almost all species are endemic to Australia and can be found nowhere else, with an exception of a single species found in New Caledonia.

Species

Species name	Image	Authority	Year	Description
Myrmecia aberrans		Forel[4]	1900	Specimens of this species are only known from workers collected in South Australia. The average length is around 12 millimetres (0.47 in), with reddish-yellow mandibles, clypeus and antennae. Its head, mesonotum and parts of its thorax, postpetiole and gaster are black. In contrast to other species, the mandibles are noticeably short.[5]
Myrmecia acuta		Ogata & Taylor[6]	1991	Relatively small species that is found in Western Australia. It has a close resemblance to M. swalei, but it can be distinguished by its higher density of pilosity, its pointed labral process and its more inflated mesosoma. Its body is bicoloured, but most of it is dark brown or black. The mesosoma and postpetiole are reddish brown, and its mandibles are yellow. The mandibles are longer than the head.[6]
Myrmecia analis		Mayr[7]	1862	M. analis is a large species that is found in Western Australia and some of the eastern states, based on collected workers and queens. Males are unknown. Workers measure 18 to 20 millimetres (0.71 to 0.79 in) and dealated queens 20 to 22 millimetres (0.79 to 0.87 in). The head, node, postpetiole and thorax is coloured red, and the mandibles and legs are reddish yellow. The scapes and gaster are brown and black respectively.[8]
Myrmecia apicalis		Emery[9]	1883
Myrmecia arnoldi		Clark[10]	1951	M. arnoldi is only known from workers collected in Western Australia. It is a large species, measuring 18 to 20 millimetres (0.71 to 0.79 in) with a black head and gaster, a brown femora, node, postpetiole and thorax, and yellow mandibles. The antennae, mandibles, tarsi and tibiae are yellow or reddish yellow.[10]
Myrmecia athertonensis		Forel[11]	1915
Myrmecia auriventris		Mayr[12]	1870	M. auriventris is only known from colonies observed in Queensland. Workers vary in length, measuring 18 to 20 millimetres (0.71 to 0.79 in). The males measure 15.5 millimetres (0.61 in) and queens are unknown. The colour and pilosity between males and workers are similar, but the two castes can be distinguished from the workers by the size of the mandibles and its finer body sculpture. The gaster, head, mesonotum, postpetiole and pronotum are black. The metanotum, epinotum and node is red, and the antennae, coxae, mandibles and parts of the femora and tarsi are reddish yellow.[13]
Myrmecia banksi	—	Taylor[3]	2015
Myrmecia borealis		Ogata & Taylor[6]	1991
Myrmecia brevinoda		Forel[14]	1910	M. brevinoda is a giant Myrmecia species that is known from New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. It is also the only known species that was introduced outside its natural geographical range, with colonies found in New Zealand.[a] M. brevinoda may exhibit polymorphism among workers; workers of this species are among the largest ants in the world, measuring 13 to 37 millimetres (0.51 to 1.46 in). The queens measure 27 to 31 millimetres (1.06 to 1.22 in) and males are 20 to 22 millimetres (0.79 to 0.87 in) long. The ant is yellowish red, with the antennae, legs and mandibles lighter yellowish. The gaster is black. It resembles M. forficata in size and colour, but the two species can be distinguished by the form of the node.[16][17]

The clypeus, labrum and mandibles are yellow. The queens can be distinguished from the workers by its coarser body and the long, abundant pilosity.[25]
Myrmecia dichospila		Clark[26]	1938
Myrmecia dimidiata	—	Clark[27]	1951	Specimens are only known from workers collected in Queensland. Workers measure 23 to 25 millimetres (0.91 to 0.98 in) in length. The body is brownish red, with lighter antennae and legs. The mandibles are yellow, and part of the gaster is brown.[27]
