Dorylinae
Dorylinae is an ant subfamily, with distributions in both the Old World and New World. Brady ''et al.'' (2014) Synonym (taxonomy), synonymized the previous dorylomorph subfamilies (Aenictinae, Aenictogitoninae, Cerapachyinae, Ecitoninae, and Leptanilloidinae) under Dorylinae, while Borowiec (2016) reviewed and revised the genera, resurrecting many genera which had previously been merged. Dorylinae genera are suggested to have evolved sometime between , subsequently undergoing rapid adaptive radiation events during their early history. Dorylinae ants including Eciton species, exhibit army ant behavior. Non-army Doryline ants like ''Yunodorylus'' provides evolution of the army ant adaptive syndrome, including group foraging, nomadism, and specialized queens.

Sphinctomyrmex
''Sphinctomyrmex'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dorylinae. The genus is a tropical and distinctive group, originally described by Gustav Mayr, Mayr based on a single gyne collected in Brazil. Morphology (biology), Morphologically, the genus is characterized by the unique arrangement of the gaster (insect anatomy), gastric segments, which are nearly equal in length and separated from each other by distinct constrictions. Very little is known on the natural history of ''Sphinctomyrmex''. The few observations so far suggest that ants of this genus are nomadic predators of other ants. The genus '' Zasphinctus'' and approximately 20 species were formerly included, but were split out during revision of the Dorylinae genera by Borowiec (2016).

The Ecitoninae all reside in the New World with an exception to two army ant subfamilies that are located in the Old World. Most of the species are loc ...
