Stegomyrmex is a Neotropical genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae.[2] Strictly Neotropical in its distribution, the genus is known from Costa Rica to northern Argentina. It was once considered rare, but more recent sampling has revealed that the genus is relatively common in the leaf litter.[3]
