Leptanillinae
Leptanillinae is a subfamily of ants. They are further divided into the tribes Anomalomyrmini and Leptanillini. In all Leptanillini, the larvae feed their hemolymph to the queen through specialized processes on their prothoraces and third abdominal segments.Tree of Life Web Project. 2004Leptanillini Version 21 October 2004 (temporary). InThe Tree of Life Web Project/ref> This behavior resembles that of the unrelated '' Adetomyrma'', also called Dracula ants, which pierce their larvae to obtain body fluids. At least ''Leptanilla'' and ''Phaulomyrma'' are minute, yellow, blind ants that live below the surface. Distribution The Leptanillinae are mainly spread out in tropical and warm temperate regions in Europe and Australian regions.

Protanilla
''Protanilla'' is a genus of subterranean ants in the subfamily Leptanillinae. Known from the Indomalayan realm, the genus contains about thirteen species. The genus was erected by Taylor (1990) for the type species ''P. rafflesi'', described from workers from Peninsular Malaysia. Species in this genus have long and downcurved mandibles with peg-like tooth on the inner margins. Four species are known from China (''P. bicolor'', ''P. concolor'', ''P. gengma'' and ''P. tibeta''), one from Taiwan (''P. lini''), one from Sri Lanka (''P. schoedli'') and a couple from India (''P. wardi'', ''P. flamma'').

Ant Subfamilies
Ants (family Formicidae in the order Hymenoptera) are the most species-rich of all social insects, with more than 12,000 described species and many others awaiting description. Formicidae is divided into 21 subfamilies, of which 17 contain extant taxa, while four are exclusively fossil. Ants have come to occupy virtually all major terrestrial habitats, with the exception of tundra and cold ever-wet forests. They display a wide range of social behaviors, foraging habits and associations with other organisms, which has generated scientific and public interest. Clades Beginning in the 1990s, molecular (DNA sequence) data have come to play a central role in attempts to reconstruct the ant "tree of life". Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on multiple nuclear genes have yielded robust results that reinforce some preexisting views but overturn others – and suggest that there has been considerable morphological convergence among some ant lineages. Molecular data provide very ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anomalomyrma
''Anomalomyrma'' is an Asian genus of ants in the subfamily Leptanillinae. The genus was originally described in 1990 with the type species ''Anomalomyrma taylori'', based on a single dealate queen from Borneo. Workers were unknown until 2011, when two new species were described from Peninsular Malaysia and the Philippines.

Furcotanilla
''Furcotanilla'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Leptanillinae containing the single species ''Furcotanilla furcomandibula''. The genus is close to ''Protanilla'', from where the type species ''Protanilla furcomandibula'' (now ''Furcotanilla furcomandibula'') was transferred from by Xu (2012). Its only species is known from Yunnan Yunnan , () is a landlocked province in the southwest of the People's Republic of China. The province spans approximately and has a population of 48.3 million (as of 2018). The capital of the province is Kunming.

Phaulomyrma
''Phaulomyrma'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Leptanillinae containing a single species, ''Phaulomyrma javana''. The genus was first described in 1930 with ''Phaulomyrma javana'' as the type species, based on two males from Bogor on the island of Java. ''Leptanilla tanit'' from Tunisia was originally included in the genus by Wheeler & Wheeler (1930), but was transferred back to ''Leptanilla ''Leptanilla'' is a genus of ant in the subfamily Leptanillinae.

Carlo Emery
Carlo Emery (25 October 1848, Naples – 11 May 1925) was an Italian entomologist. He is remembered for Emery's rule, which states that insect social parasites are often closely related to their hosts. Early in his career Carlo Emery pursued a course in general medicine, and in 1872 narrowed his interests to ophthalmology. In 1878 he was appointed Professor of Zoology at the University of Cagliari, remaining there for several years until 1881 when he took up an appointment at the University of Bologna as Professor of Zoology, remaining there for thirty-five years until his death. Emery specialised in Hymenoptera, but his early work was on Coleoptera. Prior to 1869, his earliest works were a textbook of general zoology and papers on fishes and molluscs. From 1869 to 1925 he devoted himself almost entirely to the study of ants. Emery published extensively between 1869 and 1926 describing 130 genera and 1057 species mainly in Wytsman's ''Genera Insectorum'' series. Emery’ ...

Subfamily
In biological classification, a subfamily ( Latin: ', plural ') is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end subfamily botanical names with "-oideae", and zoological names with "-inae".
