Dorylinae
Dorylinae is an ant subfamily, with distributions in both the Old World and New World. Brady ''et al.'' (2014) synonymized the previous dorylomorph subfamilies (Aenictinae, Aenictogitoninae, Cerapachyinae, Ecitoninae, and Leptanilloidinae) under Dorylinae., while Borowiec (2016) reviewed and revised the genera, resurrecting many genera which had previously been merged. Dorylinae genera are suggested to have evolved sometime between , subsequently undergoing rapid adaptive radiation events during their early history.

Sphinctomyrmex

Leptanilloides
''Leptanilloides'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dorylinae. ''Leptanilloides'' is an uncommonly collected genus with subterranean habits in the New World Andean and sub-Andean tropics. Taxonomy With cryptic and eyeless worker ants, the genus was included in the ant subfamily Cerapachyinae until the establishment of a separate subfamily, Leptanilloidinae, hypothesized as the sister group to the Cerapachyinae and all other members of the dorylomorphs.

Cerapachys
''Cerapachys'' (common names include "raider ant" and "ant-raiding ant") is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dorylinae.

Neivamyrmex
''Neivamyrmex'' is a genus of army ants in the subfamily Dorylinae. Range ''Neivamyrmex'' species can be found from the central United States to southern Argentina. Taxonomy As of 2021, 129 ''Neivamyrmex'' species have been identified. However, most research pertaining to this genus is based on a single species, ''Neivamyrmex nigriscens'', from which knowledge about ''Neivamyrmex'' overall is derived. Many species are known based only on a small number of male individuals. Biology ''Neivamyrmex'' do not build permanent nests; instead, colonies are nomadic, establishing temporary bivouacs every night before moving on to a new location. Most species are predominantly subterranean, but they will occasionally forage above ground at night or on cloudy days. The larvae and pupae of other ant species are the principle food of ''Neivamyrmex'', including ants of the genera '' Veromessor'', ''Pheidole'', ''Solenopsis'', and ''Formica ''Formica'' is a genus of ants of the fa ...
