Pseudomyrmex genus of stinging, wasp-like ants in the subfamily Pseudomyrmecinae . They are large-eyed, slender ants, found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of the New World .
Distribution and habitat
Pseudomyrmex is predominantly Neotropical in distribution, but a few species are known from the Nearctic region.[ 4] Pseudomyrmex pallidus herbaceous plants , and in dead, woody twigs.[ 4] mutualists with certain species of Acacia [ 5] Pseudomyrmex triplarinus Triplaris [ 6] [ 7]
