Type Species: Holcoponera striatula (Mayr)

Diagnosis (Females): Head wider posterad than anterad; mandible triangular with striae or rugulae on frontal surface; anterior clypeal margin convex; scape usually surpassing vertexal margin; eye slightly behind cephalic midlength; promesonotal suture frequently well marked, totally interrupting dorsal mesosomal sculpture; propodeal spiracle close to the declivous face of propodeum; propodeum unarmed; anterior prosternal process broadly concave medially; metacoxal dorsum always with a denticle or lobe; petiolar node high; anteroventral postpetiolar process relatively wide; second gastric segment only slightly arched ventrally.

Distribution: Neotropical, Indomalayan, and Australasian.

Notes: In the new classification proposed here the available name Holcoponera is resurrected from synonymy under Gnamptogenys to include most of the species of the striatula group sensu Lattke (1995), and the albiclava and epinotalis groups sensu Lattke (2004). The only species from the former striatula group not included in Holcoponera are lavra, lenis, and reichenspergeri, which were transferred to Typhlomyrmex in this study. The Neotropical species of Holcoponera can be identified using the work of Camacho et. al. (2020). Oriental species can be identified using the key in Lattke (2004).
