Dolichoderinae is a subfamily of ants, which includes species such as the Argentine ant, the erratic ant, the odorous house ant, and the cone ant. The subfamily presents a great diversity of species throughout the world, distributed in different biogeographic regions, from the Palearctic, Nearctic, Afrotropical region and Malaysia, to the Middle East, Australian, and Neotropical regions.
Prionomyrmex is an extinct genus of bulldog ants in the subfamily Myrmeciinae of the family Formicidae. It was first described by Gustav Mayr in 1868, after he collected a holotype worker of P. longiceps in Baltic amber. Three species are currently described, characterised by their long mandibles, slender bodies and large size. These ants are known from the Eocene and Late Oligocene, with fossil specimens only found around Europe. It is suggested that these ants preferred to live in jungles, with one species assumed to be an arboreal nesting species. These ants had a powerful stinger that was used to subdue prey. In 2000, it was suggested by Cesare Baroni Urbani that the living species Nothomyrmecia macrops and a species he described both belonged to Prionomyrmex, but this proposal has not been widely accepted by the entomological community. Instead, scientists still classify the two genera distinctive from each other, making Nothomyrmecia a valid genus.
Dolichoderus is a genus of ants found worldwide.
Dorymyrmex amazonicus is a Neotropical species of ant in the subfamily Dolichoderinae.
Leptomyrmecini is a tribe of Dolichoderinae ants with 16 genera and two extinct genera.
Dolichoderus balticus is an extinct species of Eocene ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by Mayr in 1868, the fossils of a worker, queen and male of the species were discovered in the Baltic Amber.
Dolichoderus cornutus is an extinct species of Eocene ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by Mayr in 1868, the fossils were discovered in the Baltic amber, where a fossilised worker ant was only described, and it is presumed these ants existed at least 40 million years ago.
Dolichoderus longipennis is an extinct species of Eocene ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by Mayr in 1868, the fossils were discovered in the Baltic Amber.
Dolichoderus sculpturatus is an extinct species of ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by Mayr in 1868, a fossilised worker was discovered and described in the Baltic amber.
Dolichoderus tertiarius is an extinct species of Eocene ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by Mayr in 1868, fossils of a worker, queen and male were discovered and described in the Baltic amber.
