Glyphopone Forel, 1913 Leptopone Arnold, 1916 Spalacomyrmex Emery, 1889 Typhloteras Karavaiev, 1925 Centromyrmex is a pantropical, though mainly Afrotropical, genus of ants in the subfamily Ponerinae.

The specimens reported here were collected in a region of Amazon Forest with flight interception traps.

They are predatory on termites, where a group hunting strategy may be employed,[2] or may prey more generally on invertebrates in the upper soil layer of forests.

[3] Little is known about their biology, but workers lack eyes and are well adapted to a subterranean lifestyle by way of burrowing.

They also are equipped with short, spiny, and powerful legs.
