Defying evolution for over 100 million years?

http://www.spacedaily.com/news/life-03y.html

"The common scientific belief has been that army ants originated separately on several continents over millions of years. Now it is found there was no evolution. Using fossil data and the tools of a genetics detective, a Cornell University entomologist has discovered that these ants come from the same point of origin, because since the reign of the dinosaurs, about 100 million years ago, army ants in essence have not changed a bit."

Question: Is this evidence AGAINST evolution or is it evidence that there IS evolution but sometimes certain species are SO successful that they reach an evolutionary "stasis" for millions of years?
