Acanthostichus Flexuosus
''Acanthostichus'' is a predatory and predominantly subterranean genus of ant in the subfamily Dorylinae. They are found in the New World, from the southern United States to Uruguay, Paraguay and northern Argentina. They are probably common, but due to their subterranean nature, they are seldom collected or seen. Most species are very similar; the petiole is the most important feature in identifying species. Many are known only from a few collections, or even single specimen, which makes it hard to determine variability within species. For this reason, many described members of this genus may be synonyms. Species The genus currently contains 24 species: *''Acanthostichus arizonensis'' MacKay, 1996 *'' Acanthostichus bentoni'' MacKay, 1996 *''Acanthostichus brevicornis'' Emery, 1894 *''Acanthostichus brevinodis'' MacKay, 1996 *''Acanthostichus concavinodis'' MacKay, 1996 *''Acanthostichus davisi'' (Smith, 1942) *''Acanthostichus emmae'' MacKay, 1996 *''Acanthostichus femorali ...

Acanthostichus Hispaniolicus
''Acanthostichus hispaniolicus'' is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Dorylinae known from a group of possibly Miocene fossils found on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. ''A. hispaniolicus'' is the first species of the ant genus ''Acanthostichus'' to have been described from fossils found in Dominican amber, and is the only species of ''Acanthostichus'' found in the West Indies. History and classification ''Acanthostichus hispaniolicus'' is known from four fossils insects which are inclusions in a single, transparent chunk of Dominican amber. The amber was produced by the extinct ''Hymenaea protera'', which formerly grew on Hispaniola, across northern South America and up to southern Mexico. The amber specimens, numbers Do-5205-1, Do-5205-2, Do-5205-3, and Do-5205-4; which entomb the holotype and three paratypes, are currently preserved in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology collections at the in Stuttgart, Germany.
