I checked antweb today and it seems Gnamptogenys has been re-sorted again and the ones in Malaysia were placed into genera Stictoponera and Holcoponera.

Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): ★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), ★ Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (Myrma) cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly Zatapinoma)
Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.

Here's a few things I found:
Holcoponera (disambiguation) - AntWiki
Myrmecia used to be 2 genuses, (or is it genera?) Myrmecia and Promecia.
I'm sure loads of other things like this have happened in the past but that's the only one I can remember.
My Ants:
Colonies: Camponotus humilior 1w, Opisthopsis rufithorax 11w, Aphaenogaster longiceps ~5w, Pheidole sp. ~235w ~15m, Iridomyrmex sp. 2q 1w, Brachyponera lutea 6w, Crematogaster sp. ~20w, Podomyrma sp. 1w
Queens: Polyrhachis cf. robinsoni, Polyrhachis (Campomyrma) sp. (likely infertile)
Previously Kept: Colobopsis gasseri, Technomyrmex sp., Rhytidoponera victorae, Nylanderia cf. rosae, Myrmecia brevinoda/forficata, Polyrhachis australis, Solenopsis/Monomorium
Key: Q = Queen, W = Worker, M = Major

So you're saying they split Gnamptogenys into multiple genera after they brought those unused genera back?
Gnamptogenys bicolor is now Stictoponera bicolor. I wonder why they split Gnamptogenys...

It may be a very recent change so not all sources are updated yet.
