Iridomyrmex anceps is an ant species of the Iridomyrmex genus. It has a very large distribution in multiple continents, but it is mainly distributed in northern Australia. Some specimens were found in multiple islands, and some were even found and collected in the United Arab Emirates.[1][2]
The Iridomyrmex anceps has a similar appearance to the Iridomyrmex agilis.[3] It was described by Roger in 1863.[4]
