Heteroponerini
Ectatomminae is a subfamily of ants in the poneromorph subfamilies group containing four extant and three extinct genera in two tribes. The subfamily was described in 2003 when Barry Bolton divided the Ponerinae subfamily into six subfamilies. Heteroponerinae used to be an independent subfamily, but was merged into Ectatomminae in 2022. The taxonomical position of Ectatomminae was further upheld in a genomic reanalysis conducted with alternate methods in 2024.

Rhytidoponera Metallica
The green-head ant (''Rhytidoponera metallica'') is a species of ant that is endemic to Australia. It was described by British entomologist Frederick Smith (entomologist), Frederick Smith in 1858 as a member of the genus ''Rhytidoponera'' in the subfamily Ectatomminae. These ants measure between . The queens and workers look similar, differing only in size, with the males being the smallest. They are well known for their distinctive metallic appearance, which varies from green to purple or even reddish-violet. Among the most widespread of all insects in Australia, green-head ants are found in almost every Australian state, but are absent in Tasmania. They have also been introduced in New Zealand, where several populations have been established. This species lives in many habitats, including deserts, forests, woodland and urban areas. They nest underground below logs, stones, twigs, and shrubs, or in decayed wooden stumps, and are sometimes found living in termite mounds. They ar ...

Pseudectatomma
''Pseudectatomma'' is an extinct genus of ants in the Formicidae, formicid subfamily Ectatomminae described by from fossils found in Europe. The genus contains two species dating from the Eocene, ''Pseudectatomma eocenica'' and ''Pseudectatomma striatula''. History and classification When described, ''Pseudectatomma'' was known from four fossil insects which are compression fossil, compression-impression fossils preserved in layers of soft sedimentary rock. Along with other well preserved insect fossils, the ''Pseudectatomma'' specimens were collected from layers of the Lutetian Messel pit World Heritage Site. The formation is composed of brown coals, oil shales, and bituminous shale, which preserved numerous insects, fish, birds, reptiles, and terrestrial mammals as a notable lagerstätten. The area is a preserved maar, maar lake which initially formed approximately 47 million years ago as the result of volcanic explosions. At the time of description, the holotype and para ...

''Aulacopone'' is a monotypic genus of ants in the subfamily Ectatomminae containing the single species ''Aulacopone relicta''.
