Aphaenogaster senilis is a species of ant in the family Formicidae native to the western Mediterranean Basin and the Canary Islands.

Despite being considered a monomorphic species, it is possible to observe some variation in the size of the workers.

The queen has vestigial wings, which do not perform any flight function.

It is an omnivorous species, being frequent to find pieces of arthropods, seeds, snail shells, bones of small animals and pieces of garbage, next to the anthills.

[3] Aphaenogaster senilis is distributed throughout the western Mediterranean, from the southern Mediterranean coast of France and Sardinia, to the Canary Islands and Morocco.
