Dinoponera snellingi (named after Roy Snelling) is a queenless species of ants in the subfamily Ponerinae.

The species is known only from type locality in Campo Grande, Brazil.

The combination of a bicolored body and head possessing bulging compound eyes and ocelli is unique to this species.

More definitive is the shape of the aedeagus which possesses a large ventral lobe and finger-like serrated flange.

The short broad digitus volsellaris with finely toothed basal lobe is distinctive, as well as the paramere shape.
