Amyrmex
''Amyrmex golbachi'' is a rare Neotropical species of ant and the only known species in the genus ''Amyrmex''.〔 It is currently only known from males from the Amazon basin of Brazil and from northern Argentina.
==Taxonomy==
The genus was established by Kusnezov (1953) for four small male ants collected in the Tucumán region of Argentina. Kusnezov recognized a single species, ''Amyrmex golbachi'', which he placed in the subfamily Dolichoderinae, while noting peculiar features of the wing venation and abdominal morphology that introduced some uncertainty about its affinities. Since its original description, ''Amyrmex'' has received scant attention from ant taxonomists. In his generic revision of the Dolichoderinae, Shattuck (1992) synonymized ''Amyrmex'' under ''Forelius''. Cuezzo (2000) resurrected ''Amyrmex'', pointing out various distinctive features of morphology that do not agree with any known males of ''Forelius''.〔〔
Phylogenetic analyses by Ward & Brady (2009) placed ''Amyrmex'' as a sister genus to ''Leptanilloides'' and a member of the subfamily Leptanilloidinae (now Dorylinae),〔 rather than the Dolichoderinae to which it had been previously assigned.〔 This placement is also supported by morphological traits.〔
