Myrmicinae is a subfamily of ants, with about 140 extant genera; their distribution is cosmopolitan. The pupae lack cocoons. Some species retain a functional sting. The petioles of Myrmicinae consist of two nodes. The nests are permanent and in soil, rotting wood, under stones, or in trees.
Harpagoxenus is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Found in the Palaearctic and Nearctic ecozones of the world, Harpagoxenus was first established as Tomognathus by Mayr (1861) to house the species Myrmica sublaevis. However, the name had already been used (homonym) for a genus of fish, and was replaced with its current name by Forel (1893).
Myrmoxenus is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus was synonymized under Temnothorax by Ward et al. (2015), but the change was not accepted by Heinze et al. (2015) due to insufficient available data.
Oxyepoecus is a Neotropical genus of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus is a member of the tribe Solenopsidini and currently includes 20 species.
Eutetramorium is a small genus of ants within the subfamily Myrmicinae. To date it contains three species found in Madagascar and Comoros.
Manica is a genus of ants within the subfamily Myrmicinae. To date it contains seven known species.
Agroecomyrmecinae is a subfamily of ants containing two extant and two fossil genera. The subfamily was originally classified in 1930 by Carpenter as Agroecomyrmecini, a Myrmicinae tribe. Bolton raised the tribe to subfamily status in 2003, suggesting that Agroecomyrmecinae might be the sister taxon to Myrmicinae. It has since been discovered to be one of the earliest lineages of ants, a clade from the basal polytomy for all ants. In 2014, the subfamily was expanded to two tribes. The tribe Ankylomyrmini was moved from the subfamily Myrmicinae to Agroemyrmecinae.
Ochetomyrmex is a Neotropical genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae.
Meranoplus parviumgulatus is a species of ant in the genus Meranoplus. It is known from New Guinea and Papua New Guinea.
Cyphoidris is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus is known from Africa.
Dacetinops is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Its seven species are known from Borneo, and Papua New Guinea. One species, D. cirrosus, is known also from Terengganu and Johor, West Malaysia.
Gaoligongidris is an Asian genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. It contains the single species Gaoligongidris planodorsa, collected in the Gaoligong Mountains, Yunnan Province, China. The genus is known only from workers and nests in the soil, and forages on the ground. While similar to the genus Lophomyrmex of the tribe Attini, Gaoligongidris is most closely related to the Indo-Australian Lasiomyrma, tribe Crematogastrini.
Indomyrma is an Asian genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus contains two species: the type species Indomyrma dasypyx known from India and Indomyrma bellae known from Vietnam.
Lasiomyrma is a South-East Asian genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus is mainly known from tropical rainforests in Sundaland.
Stenamma is a genus of cryptic leaf-litter ants that occurs in mesic forest habitats throughout the Holarctic region, Central America, and part of northwestern South America.
Huberia is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus contains two species endemic to New Zealand.
Acanthomyrmex is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. The genus is known from South East Asia. Its species are dimorphic, with major workers in some genera having heads twice the length than that of the minor workers. They live in small colonies and are rarely collected in the field. There are 17 species of Acanthomyrmex.
Ankylomyrma is a genus of large arboreal ants in the subfamily Agroecomyrmecinae. It contains the single species Ankylomyrma coronacantha, the sole member of the tribe Ankylomyrmini. The genus is known from Africa. Nothing is known about their biology. The genus was moved from the subfamily Myrmicinae to Agroecomyrmecinae in 2014.
Lenomyrmex is a Neotropical genus of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae.
Mayriella is an Indo-Australian genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Colonies in this genus are very small, typically consisting of 50 - 100 individuals. Mayriella is classified in the genus of Hymenoptera in the family ants. They are diurnal.
