Cerapachys (common names include "raider ant" and "ant-raiding ant")[1] is a genus of ant in the subfamily Cerapachyinae. Species are mainly myrmecophagous ants which raid the nests of other ants for prey. The genus is distributed widely throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, with the majority of species known from the Indo-Australian region.[2] Cerapachys is the largest genus in the tribe Cerapachyini and is represented by 154 species globally.[3]
