Monomorium species groups

Barry Bolton (1987) revised the Afrotropical Monomorium and organized all of the species in the genus "into a system of informal species-groups which are defined and discussed on a world-wide basis." Sparks et. al. (2015) subsequently created the M. rothsteini species group. All of the species it contains are found in Australia.

These groupings of Monomorium species are based on similarities in worker morphology.

destructor species group
The species in this group are now all considered to be members of the genus Trichomyrmex.

fossulatum species group
All of the species in this group now belong to the genus Syllophopsis.
