is a large myrmicine ant genus with a range spanning the northern hemisphere, including the northern half of the Neotropics. Many of the Neotropical species were originally placed in the now defunct genus . Recent molecular work has revealed that distinct lineages of Neotropical have arrived by evolutionary convergenceat a morphological syndrome with characteristics that were used to diagnose the former genus . One such lineage is the clade, which in this study is redefined to contain 63 species, 35 of which are described as new. A key to all species of the clade based on the worker caste is provided; additionally, a worker-based key to all clades of the New World is provided. The following species are redescribed: (Wheeler), (Wheeler), (Baroni Urbani), (Baroni Urbani), (Wheeler), (Menozzi & Russo), (Wheeler & Mann), (Mann), (Baroni Urbani), (Baroni Urbani), (Baroni Urbani), (Baroni Urbani), (Baroni Urbani), (Baroni Urbani), (Emery), (Emery), (Smith), (Emery), (Mackay), (Forel), (Mann), (Wheeler), (Wheeler), (Baroni Urbani), (Mann), (Wheeler), (Aguayo). The gynes of and are described. The males of and are described. Lectotypes are designated for . A neotype for (Forel) is designated, the taxon is raised to species, and a replacement name is designated: The following species are described as new: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ., , , , , ,
是一个大型蚁亚科蚁属,分布范围跨越北半球,包括新热带区的北半部。许多新热带区的物种最初被置于现已废止的属中。最近的分子研究表明,新热带区的不同谱系通过进化趋同形成了一种形态综合征,其特征曾被用于诊断前一个属。其中一个这样的谱系是蚁属分支,在本研究中重新定义为包含63个物种,其中35个被描述为新物种。提供了基于工蚁等级的蚁属分支所有物种的检索表;此外,还提供了基于工蚁的新世界所有分支的检索表。以下物种被重新描述:(惠勒),(惠勒),(巴罗尼·乌尔巴尼),(巴罗尼·乌尔巴尼),(惠勒),(梅诺齐和鲁索),(惠勒和曼),(曼),(巴罗尼·乌尔巴尼),(巴罗尼·乌尔巴尼),(巴罗尼·乌尔巴尼),(巴罗尼·乌尔巴尼),(巴罗尼·乌尔巴尼),(巴罗尼·乌尔巴尼),(埃默里),(埃默里),(史密斯),(埃默里),(麦凯),(福雷尔),(曼),(惠勒),(惠勒),(巴罗尼·乌尔巴尼),(曼),(惠勒),(阿瓜约)。描述了蚁属和蚁属的雌蚁。描述了蚁属和蚁属的雄蚁。指定了蚁属的选模标本。为(福雷尔)指定了新模标本,该分类单元被提升为物种,并指定了替代名称:以下物种被描述为新物种:,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
