Xymmer
''Xymmer'' is a genus of ant in the subfamily Amblyoponinae containing the single species ''Xymmer muticus''.〔
==Taxonomy==
''Xymmer'' was first described by Santschi (1914) as a monotypic subgeneric taxon under ''Stigmatomma''.〔Santschi F (1914) Formicides de l'Afrique occidentale et australe du voyage de M. le Professeur F. Silvestri. Boll Lab Zool Gen Agrar Fac Agrar Portici 8: 309–385. 〕 Since Santschi's original description, ''Xymmer'' was raised to genus by Wheeler (1922) in his identification key for African Amblyoponini.〔Wheeler WM (1922) Ants of the American Museum Congo expedition. A contribution to the myrmecology of Africa. VII. Keys to the genera and subgenera of ants. Bull Am Mus Nat Hist 45: 631–710. 〕 Clark (1934) regarded ''Xymmer'' as a subgenus in ''Amblyopone''〔Clark J (1934) New Australian ants. Mem Natl Mus Vic 8: 21–47. 〕 following Wheeler's suggestion; however, distinguishing characters were not discussed in their treatments. Brown (1949, 1960)〔10.1155/1949/67378〕〔Brown WL Jr (1960) Contributions toward a reclassification of the Formicidae. III. Tribe Amblyoponini (Hymenoptera). Bull Mus Comp Zool 122: 143–230.〕 discussed separable characters for ''Xymmer'' (as a junior synonym under the subgenus ''Stigmatomma'') for the first time since Santschi's original description. Brown regarded ''Stigmatomma'' and its related names as junior synonyms of ''Amblyopone'' at that time. ''Xymmer'' was resurrected to its current placement as an independent genus from synonymy with ''Amblyopone'' based on a morphological examination by Yoshimura & Fisher (2012).
