Diversity
c. 100 species

Oligomyrmex is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. They are small ants, found around the world in mostly subterranean habitats. While the minor workers can be smaller than one millimeter, they have also major worker castes. Some species are specialized thief ants that prey on the brood of larger species[1].
