Pachycondyla is a diverse and heterogenous assemblage of ponerine ants found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. My taxonomic work in Pachycondyla is limited in scope to a few species-level taxonomic problems that I encountered while cataloguing the Paraguayan ant fauna. Bill MacKay (University of Texas, El Paso) is currently giving the New World species a more comprehensive treatment.
