Species of Hypoponera

Hypoponera is in desperate need of a thorough species level revision, as the genus has never received any comprehensive revisionary work, many synonyms exist, and a great many species await description ( Taylor, 1967). The only exception to this is the Afrotropical and western Palaearctic faunas, which were recently revised by Bolton & Fisher (2011). Examining the remaining fauna will be a monumental task, as the true diversity of the genus is probably dramatically higher than presently known.
