Myrmecia nobilis is a species of ant. It belongs to the genus Myrmecia, and was described by John S. Clark in 1943. Native to Australia , Myrmecia nobilis has only been observed in Victoria, particularly the Melbourne Metropolitan Area.[2]
Myrmecia nobilis looks like M. froggatti and M. maura and appears to be closely related to them, but all are distinct species. Myrmecia nobilis is around 10-14 millimetres long. Its mandibles are yellowish red, and its mesonotum, epinotum and node are red.[3][4]
