Apomyrma stygia is a species of ant found in West Africa, first described in 1970 (1970).[1] It is the only species in the genus Apomyrma. A newly described species, Opamyrma hungvuong, is apparently related to Apomyrma.[2] It has been suggested the ant primarily lives in tropical forests, and apparently belongs to a guild of centipede feeding ants.[1]
