Diacamma是一种非常明确的Ponerine蚂蚁属，分布于印度、锡兰、中国南部、马来群岛、新几内亚和澳大利亚东北角。1897年，埃默里仔细地为该物种作了专著，1911年，同一作者在“Inseetorum属”中发表了一份已知物种的清单。只有13种，但其中的一种，Indomalayan rugosum有大约25个亚种和变种。所有的种类都有大的黑色或青铜色，更罕见的是漂亮的金属蓝色或绿色的工蜂（图1），和淡黄色或黄红色的雄性（图2），有很长的触角和弯曲的脊柱末端的臀肌。
Diacamma is a very clearly defined genus of Ponerine ants confined to India, Ceylon, Southern China, the Malay Archi-pelago, New Guinea and the northeast corner of Australia. The species were carefully monographed by Emery in 1897, and a list of those known in 1911 was published by the same author in the" Genera Inseetorum". There are only thirteen species, but one of them, the Indomalayan rugosum has some 25 subspecies and varieties. All the species have large black or bronzy, more rarely beautifully metallic blue or green, workers (Fig. 1), and pale yellow or yellowish red males (Fig. 2), with very long antennm and the pygidium terminatingin a curved spine.
