Leptogenys
is a diverse genus of slender, long-legged ponerine ants found in warmer climates worldwide. These ants live in moderate to large colonies that nest in rotting wood and soil. Some species have developed a nomadic, army ant-like life cycle, and many are specialist predators on different groups of arthropods.
