Sysphingta Roger, 1863 Proceratium is a rare genus of ants in the subfamily Proceratiinae.

[2] It is the type genus of the tribe Proceratiini, which in addition to Proceratium consists of two even rarer genera: the extant Discothyrea and the fossil genus Bradoponera.

[3] The genus is rare, but widespread throughout the northern temperate and tropical zones.

[4] In the Old World, it is distributed from Spain to Japan, in sub-Saharan Africa, Mauritius, the Malay Archipelago, New Guinea, Queensland (Australia) and Fiji.

They nest in soil, in rotten wood, under stones, or on tree branches.
