Parasyscia

Parasyscia is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dorylinae containing approximately 50 described species.[1] The genus is distributed across the Afrotropical, Australasia, Indomalaya, Malagasy, Oceania, and Palearctic bioregions.[2] Parasyscia was described by Emery (1882), moved to a subgenus of Cerapachys by Forel (1892) and finally placed as a junior synonym of Cerapachys by Kempf (1972). Parasyscia was resurrected as a valid genus by Borowiec (2016) during the redescription of the doryline genera.[3]
