Acanthomyrmex ants are tropical and from the Indo-Malayan region mostly.

 

They have very small colony sizes, but the major workers are pretty top heavy, matched only in Pheidole by species such as Pheidole absurda.

I currently maintain a site dedicated to the hyper-diverse myrmicine genus Pheidole.:

I also own the Lurker's Guide to Leafcutters Ants
