Zasphinctus

Zasphinctus is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dorylinae. The genus is a pantropical and distinctive group, originally described by Wheeler (1918) based on "Sphinctomyrmex" turneri collected in Queensland, Australia. Zasphinctus was first described as a subgenus of "Eusphinctus", and then synonymized into Sphinctomyrmex, to later be raised to full genus status by Borowiec (2016), who included approximately 20 species in the new genus circumscription.
