[edit | edit source]There are 17 described species of Parachartergus:
- Parachartergus amazonensis Ducke, 1905[1]
- Parachartergus apicalis (Fabricius, 1804) - known to form mutualistic relationships with treehoppers. The male genitalia are noted for their movements of "startling complexity".[2]
- Parachartergus apicaloides Willink, 1959
- Parachartergus aztecus Willink, 1959[3]
- Parachartergus colobopterus (Lichtenstein, 1796) - unusually nests contain several queens. The species is docile, preferring to leave the nest than mount an attack.
- Parachartergus flavofasciatus (Cameron, 1906)[3]
- Parachartergus fraternus (Gribodo, 1892) - closely related to P. apicalis and also forms mutualistic relationships with treehoppers[4]
- Parachartergus fulgidipennis (de Saussure, 1854)[1]
- Parachartergus griseus (Fox, 1898)[3][5]
- Parachartergus lenkoi Richards, 1978[3]
- Parachartergus pacificus Cooper, 2000
- Parachartergus pseudoapicalis Willink, 1951[6]
- Parachartergus richardsi Willink, 1951[5]
- Parachartergus smithii (de Saussure, 1854)[7]
- Parachartergus tomentus Willink, 1959[3]
