Froggattella is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dolichoderinae.[2] The genus contains two species found in Australia. Froggattella kirbii is fairly common, while Froggattella latispina is known only from two locations in South Australia.[3]
The two species range from small to medium in size, where they are found foraging in distinct trails on low vegetation or small sized trees.[4]
