Typhlomyrmex is a genus of ants in the subfamily Ectatomminae.[2] Known from the Neotropics, the genus has a wide distribution. Some species are restricted in range, while for example Typhlomyrmex rogenhoferi is known from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. Little is known about their biology.[3] The name "Typhlomyrmex" means "blind ant", as this genus contains only blind ants. Previously classified under the monotypic tribe Typhlomyrmecini, it was merged into Ectatommini in 2022.[4]
