Apomyrma stygia is a species of ant found in West Africa, first described in 1970.[1] It is the only species in the genus Apomyrma, tribe Apomyrmini, and subfamily Apomyrminae.[2] It has been suggested the ant primarily lives in tropical forests, and apparently belongs to a guild of centipede-feeding ants.[1]
