Uno de los grupos más importantes de hormigas cazadoras (subfamilia Ponerinae) en los trópicos, es la tribu Ectatommini, de la cual se presenta la caracterización, sistemática, filogenia y biología. Se presenta una clave para los géneros neotropicales, y la biología, distribución y claves de las especies colombianas Acanthoponera minor, A. mucronata, Heteroponera mtcrops, H. monticola, H. inca y Paraponera clavata. Acanthoponera y Heteroponera son géneros escasamente coleccionados y de hábitos ocultos, mientras que Paraponera clavata exhibe una amplia distribución en los ambientes húmedos de las tierras bajas, que se asocia a una plasticidad biológica grande.
Ectatommini is one of the most important group of predator ants (subfamily Ponerinae) in the tropics. The tribal caracterization, systematics, phylogeny and biology are summarized. Keys to neotropical genera are provided, and keys, distribution and biology of the colombian species Acanthoponera minor, A. mucronata, Heteroponera microps, H. monticote, H. inca and Paraponera clavata are included. While Acanthoponera and Heteroponera are rarely collected genera, with cryptic habits, Paraponera clavata is widely distributed in wat lowland habitats and presents flexible nest and foraging behavior.
