  Gliding ant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gliding ants are arboreal ants of many different genera, each having developed the ability to guide its descent when falling from a tree, in order to land on the trunk before reaching the (potentially flooded, disorienting, or dangerous) ground.
Every single species of ant tested in the genus Cephalotes has this ability, as do many species of Pseudomyrmecinae, and some other groups.
Cephalotes may have specifically evolved the unusually flattened, flanged head of that genus for this ability to steer in the air while falling.

 UCD Entomology: Ward Lab- subfamily Pseudomyrmecinae
The ant subfamily Pseudomyrmecinae is a pantropical group of arboreal, twig-dwelling ants.
This same study also provided evidence that the sister group of Pseudomyrmecinae is the ant subfamily Myrmeciinae (as defined by Ward and Brady, 2003).
A list of all taxonomic literature on Pseudomyrmecinae is also available.

 CiteULike: Tetraponera ants have gut symbionts related to nitrogen-fixing root-nodule bacteria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Some Tetraponera ants (Formicidae, Pseudomyrmecinae) subsist almost entirely on amino acid deficient honeydew secretions of pseudococcids and harbour a dense aggregation of bacterial symbionts in a unique pouch-shaped organ at the junction of the midgut and the intestine.
The organ is surrounded by a network of intruding tracheae and Malpighian tubules, suggesting that these bacteria are involved in the oxidative recycling of nitrogen-rich metabolic waste.

From Africa, he reckoned there were some 30 species, with many still to be found.
Ward and Downie (2004) made several analyses of the phylogenetic relations within the Pseudomyrmecinae, of which Fig.
Morphological features that they considered useful were (w = worker, q = queen) - the angulate surface of the mandible above the trulleum (w), reduction in mandibular teeth (w, q), and the narrow notchlike cleft on the distal margin of the labrum (w, q).
