Amblyoponinae Amblyoponinae is a subfamily of ants in the poneromorph subfamilies group containing 13 extant genera and one extinct genus. The ants in this subfamily are mostly specialized subterranean predators. Adult workers pierce the integument (non leth ...

. The genus has a worldwide distribution, and like most other amblyoponines, ''Stigmatomma'' species are specialized predators. First described by Roger (1859), it was for a long time considered to be a synonym of '' Amblyopone'' until it was revived as an independent genus by Yoshimura & Fisher (2012) based on worker mandible morphology.
