Chrysapace is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dorylinae containing four described species.[1] The genus is distributed across the Malaysian peninsula, Indonesia, and the Philippines, with undescribed species from Madagascar and from Baltic amber[2][3][4] Chrysapace was described by Crawley (1924) and later placed as a junior synonym of Cerapachys by Brown (1975). Chrysapace was resurrected as a valid genus by Borowiec (2016) during redescription of the doryline genera.[2]
