Overbeckia is a genus of ants in the subfamily Formicinae originally containing only the single species Overbeckia subclavata.

[1] Although the genus has been known over 100 years only from Singapore, where its nests were found in hollow branches of bamboo and other plants,[2] a revision study by Klimes and coll.

in 2022[3] showed that these ants occur across tropical SA Asia to Australasia and re-described the genus, Overbeckia subclavata.

[3] The study also showed that more recent findings of Overbeckia in Australia [4] are likely O. papuana, based on morphology.
