 Ponerinae
Ponerinae is a subfamily of ants, which includes species such as the Bullet Ant.
The traditional subfamily Ponerinae has recently been divided up into several subfamilies, with several former tribes now elevated to subfamily rank by the British myrmecologist Barry Bolton ("Synopsis and classification of Formicidae".
Most poneromorphs appear to have lost the taste for sweets (nectar, fruit) typical of adult stinging Hymenoptera, and this should probably also be considered an evolutionary "advancement".

 Subfamily Ponerinae
The world fauna of Ponerinae has about 2000 species and subspecies placed in 43 genera (Shattuck, 1992 179).
Ponerinae is a large and highly diverse group.
It has traditionally been characterized by the fusion of the tergite and sternite of abdominal segment IV (= gastral segment II).

 Invisible Flinders - The History Of The Kingdom Of Humalawnaria - The Divided Kingdom
All the Ponerinae ants were rounded up and moved to the southern side of the wall.
The residents soon realized that the Queen’s Wall was not necessarily a successful solution to the Ponerinae problem, as in May 1987, a band of militants blew a hole in the wall, led by some of the Formicinae ants that were abandoned in Outer Gesnalt with the building of the wall.
While this was happening, the Ponerinae ants launched a surprise attack on the city through a tunnel under the wall, which they had been digging for months.

 Invisible Flinders - The History Of The Kingdom Of Humalawnaria - The Former Kingdom
Fertald Mostolo returned in December 1977 with news that a kingdom of Ponerinae ants, who were known for their strength and inferior intelligence, was situated not far to the south of Humalawnaria.
In January 1982, the population of the Kingdom of Humalawnaria grew to a total of 900,000.
In late October 1985, a band of Ponerinae rebels broke into the royal palace and murdered King Gestober in his sleep along with most of his family and advisors.

 Molecular systematics of basal subfamilies of ants using 28S rRNA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
For many years, the ant subfamily Ponerinae was hypothesized to contain the basal (early branching) lineages of ants.
Recently the Ponerinae were reclassified into six poneromorph subfamilies based on morphological analysis.
The Amblyoponinae (PB = 52, PP = 96), Paraponerinae (PB = 100, PP = 100), Ponerinae (PB < 50, PP = 71), and Proceratiinae (PB = 98, PP = 100) appear as distinct lineages at the base of the tree and are identified as a poneroid grade.
