	Proformica Lebasi ''Proformica'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Formicinae. The genus is known from the Palearctic realm, from Mongolia through Central Asia to Spain. Ant colony, Colonies are small, generally containing a few hundred individuals, with a single queen ant, queen (monogyne) or multiple ergatogyne queens. Unique in the tribe (biology), tribe Formicini, some species have specialized workers ("honeypot ants") gorged with food; they function as living storage containers. Parasite host Four species are host to Obligate parasite, obligate slave-making ants in the genus ''Rossomyrmex'', with each species forming a coevolution, coevolving pair: ''Rossomyrmex proformicarum''–''Proformica epinotalis'' ''Rossomyrmex quandratinodum''–''Proformica'' sp.

	Rossomyrmex ''Rossomyrmex'' is a genus of slave-making ant in the subfamily Formicinae. The genus consists of four species, each with a single host from the genus '' Proformica'', and has a very wide range of distribution from China to southeastern Spain, from huge extended plains to the top of high mountains. Species * '' Rossomyrmex anatolicus'' Tinaut, 2007 – Turkey * '' Rossomyrmex minuchae'' Tinaut, 1981 – Spain * '' Rossomyrmex proformicarum'' Arnol'di, 1928 – Caucasus and Volga plains, Russia * '' Rossomyrmex quandratinodum'' Xia & Zheng, 1995 – Kazakhstan and China Distribution The Asian parasite-host pairs live mostly in extended plains whereas the Spanish pair ''R. minuchae''–''P. longiseta'' inhabits the top of three high mountains in southern Spain. Despite this apparent difference in habitat (extended plains versus high mountains), the abiotic conditions are quite similar and are consistent with a typical arid steppe.
