Acanthognathus

Genus endemic to this region.

Antwiki key is created from Galvis & Fernández (2009)[1] which modifies Brown & Kempf (1969)[2] No new species has been described since then.

Keys to Neotropical Acanthognathus Species

Acanthoponera

Genus endemic to this region

Jimenez et al (2008)[3] offers a tentative key to all Neotropical species (pgs. 111, in Spanish).
