  Formicinae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Formicinae is a subfamily within the Formicidae containing ants of moderate evolutionary development.
Finally, all formicines have a very reduced sting and enlarged venom reservoir, with the venom gland, specialized (uniquely among ants) for the production of formic acid.
The tribal structure of Formicinae is not completely understood.

 Subfamily Formicinae
Formicinae is the only subfamily lacking a pygidial gland, and it is believed to have split from all other ants very early in evolutionary history.
Species of Formicinae are most commonly confused with species of Dolichoderinae since both subfamilies have the mesosoma attached to the gaster by a single segment, lack a sting, and often are of similar overall size and shape.
Species of Ponerinae also have the mesosoma attached to the gaster by a single segment, but they are less likely to be confused with formicines since ponerines are generally smaller than formicines.

 Subfamily Formicinae
Subfamily Formicinae is a monophyletic group with the following autapomorphies (Agosti, 1991: 293-294; Shattuck, 1992b: 203; Grimaldi and Agosti, 2000.
These three subfamilies are believed to have split off very early in evolutionary history from the lineage of the remainder of the ants.
However, formicines can always be separated from dolichoderines by the tip of the gaster; in formicines there is a small circular opening (most easily seen by the ring of hairs surrounding it) while all dolichoderines have a slit-like opening.

A tree island approach to phylogeny (MPE 2003)
The ant subfamily Formicinae is a large assemblage (2458 species), including species that weave leaf nests together with larval silk and in which the metapleural gland—the ancestrally defining ant character—has been secondarily lost.
Non-parametric bootstrapping showed that the ML consensus tree fit the data significantly better than three scenarios based on morphology, with that of Bolton being the best among these alternative trees.

PARASITES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PONERINE ANT ECTATOMMA TUBERCULATUM (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE): FIRST HHOST RECORD FOR THE GENUS DILOCANTHA (HYMENOPTERA: EUCHARITIDAE)
The ant subfamilies Ecitoninae, Myrmicinae, Formicinae and Dolichoderinae frequently harbor a variety of commensals exhibiting myrmecophilous, scavenger and/or parasitic habits (Wheeler 1910, Rettenmeyer 1963, Wilson 1971, Lachaud 1981, Hölldobler and Wilson 1990).
However, among the more primitive ant subfamilies, such intruders are poorly known, and most reports deal essentially with the dipteran or hymenopteran parasites affecting the host brood.
