Anochetus is a genus of small, carnivorous ants found in the tropics and subtropics throughout the world.[3]

This genus is present in both the Old and New World and is native in all continents (excluding Antarctica) except in Europe, which only a single species, Anochetus Ghilianii, has been found there and it is not sure if A. Ghilianii is native to where it lives in Europe (Province of Cadiz and Gibraltar).[4] However A. Ghilianii is native to Morocco.

Anochetus is of some note due to it being one of the relatively few genera that possess trap-jaws, or specialized long mandibles that have a rapid closing mechanism. However, it is the only other genus, other than Odontomachus that uses the mandibles for predator evasion as well as prey capture.[citation needed]
