Trichomyrmex is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Described by Mayr in 1865, it was revalidated as a genus by Ward et al. 2015 after numerous previous revisions.[2] These ants are native to southeastern Europe, Africa, and Asia, although some species like T. destructor are invasive elsewhere.[2]
