Comments. This is another distinctive group whose composition is unchanged. These ants are characterized by closely approximated metacoxae, elliptical to slit-shaped propodeal spiracle, presence of ocelli in workers, and a double row of stout setae on the metatibia (Bolton (2003). This clade is mostly confined to the Palearctic and Nearctic regions.
