===Amblyoponinae=== The subfamily [[Amblyoponinae]] represents nine extant genera and one fossil genus. Established by Swiss myrmecologist [[Auguste Forel]] in 1893, these ants are specialist predators, distributed worldwide in the tropics.<ref name="AWAmblyoponinae">{{cite web |url=http://www.antweb.org/description.do?&name=amblyoponinae&rank=subfamily&project=allantwebants |title=Subfamily: Amblyoponinae |website=antweb.org |publisher=[[AntWeb]] |access-date=12 August 2013}}</ref><ref name="Dlussky_Wedmann_2012"/><ref name="Saux_et_al_2004">{{cite journal|title=Dracula ant phylogeny as inferred by nuclear 28S rDNA sequences and implications for ant systematics (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Amblyoponinae)|first1=C. |last1=Saux|first2=B.L. |last2=Fisher|first3=G.S. |last3=Spicer|journal=[[Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution]] |volume=33| year=2004|pages=457–468 |doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2004.06.017 |pmid=15336679 |issue=2|bibcode=2004MolPE..33..457S }}</ref> {| class="wikitable sortable" style="width:100%;text-align:center" !colspan="100%" align="center" bgcolor=#d3d3a4|Subfamily [[Amblyoponinae]] <small>Forel, 1893</small> – 10 genera, 146 species<ref name="AntCat_Amblyoponinae">{{AntCat|430020|Amblyoponinae|2016|accessdate=16 December 2016}}</ref> |- !Genus name!!Binomial authority!!Classified!!No. of species!!Type species!!class="unsortable"|Example image!!class="unsortable"|{{nowrap|{{Abbr|Ref(s)|References}}}} |- |''[[Adetomyrma]]'' |Ward |1994 |9 |''[[Adetomyrma venatrix]]'' |[[File:Adetomyrma_venatrix_casent0172771_profile_1.jpg|150px]]<br />''Adetomyrma venatrix'' |<ref name=desc>{{cite journal|doi=10.1111/j.1365-3113.1994.tb00585.x|author=Ward, P.
