Pseudolasius is a genus of ants in the subfamily Formicinae.[2] The genus is known from southern Asia (from India to China) to northern Australia, where it appears to be restricted to tropical areas.[3] These ants are commonly known as twig ants due to their habit of nesting in twigs or hollow stems.
