Abstract:

This is one of the smaller subfamilies of ants, comprising only four genera and about 160 species. The largest genus is the Neotropical Pseudomyrmex with about 100 species; Tetraponera with about 60 species is widely distributed in the Old World tropics; Pachysima with two species and Viticicola with only one are confined to the Ethiopian Region. These ants are notorious for their vicious stinging and famous for their association with plants.
