Dinomyrmex Ashmead 1905 stat. rev.

Type species: Formica gigas, by original designation.

Based on its phylogenetic position, as a lineage separate from both Camponotus and Colobopsis, and sister to all other camponotines except Opisthopsis and Colobopsis, Dinomyrmex is here resurrected as a genus. This generates the following revived combinations: gigas, gigas borneensis.

Dinomyrmex is a distinctive camponotine, confined to southeast Asia, and recognized by the combination of very large size (HW 3.25–5.35), elongate antennae and legs, and the presence of a metapleural gland. The species also has characteristic mandibular dentition, with teeth occurring on both the masticatory and basal margins of the mandible (Emery 1925).
