''Myrmica'' is a genus of ants within the subfamily Myrmicinae. It is widespread throughout the temperate regions of the Holarctic and high mountains in Southeast Asia. The genus consists of around 200 known species and additional subspecies, although this figure is likely to rise as soon as the Chinese and Nearctic fauna lists are revised. Inquilines The genus contains a number of inquiline species (commensal symbionts), other ''Myrmica'' species that manage to invade the nest of their host. Subsequently, they use hormones to manipulate the host colony in such a way that eggs of the host queen develop into workers, and parasite brood into sexuals. Hence, the parasite is not able to sustain a colony of its own, but uses host resources instead. Similarly, larvae of the butterfly genus ''Maculinea'' (a junior synonym of ''Phengaris'', family Lycaenidae) and of the southern armyworm, live inside ''Myrmica'' nests where they are either directly fed by ants or prey upon ant brood. ...
