There are four genera of trap-jaw ants recorded from Colombia, containing some 90 species:

Acanthognathus – Four species

Anochetus – Nine species

Odontomachus – Eleven species

Strumigenys – sixty-six species (not all have true trap jaws, though)

For a list of all currently known species recorded from Colombia, see https://www.antwiki.org/wiki/Colombia
