Leptomyrmex tibialis is a species of ant in the genus Leptomyrmex. First described by Carlo Emery in 1895 as Leptomyrmex nigriventris tibialis, the species is endemic to Australia,[2][3] and found in both New South Wales and Queensland.[1] The arguments for synonymy were made by Lucky and Ward,[2] and the decision was accepted by the Australian Faunal Directory.[1]
