Cerapachys
Genus of ants
Cerapachys (common names include "raider ant" and "ant-raiding ant")[2] is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dorylinae.[3] Species are mainly myrmecophagous ants which raid the nests of other ants for prey. The genus is distributed widely throughout the Indomalayan region.[4] The genus was revised by BoroWiec (2016) who split a number of previously synonymized genera out of Cerapachys, leaving only 5 species in the genus.[1][5]
