Tetramorium Vexator
''Tetramorium'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae that includes more than 520 species. These ants are also known as pavement ants.

Revision within the genus by Wagner et al. in 2017 recognized a complex of 10 cryptic species, 3 of which were raised from subspecies classifications and 2 of which were newly described. This revision also elevated the pavement ant introduced to North America as the species ''T. immigrans'' rather than the previous designation as a subspecies of ''T. caespitum''. These 10 species within in the ''T. caespitum'' complex are as follows: * ''Tetramorium alpestre'' Steiner, Schlick-Steiner & Seifert, 2010 * '' Tetramorium breviscapus'' Wagner et al., 2017 * '' Tetramorium caespitum'' (Linnaeus, 1758) * ''Tetramorium caucasicum'' Wagner et al., 2017 * '' Tetramorium fusciclava'' Consani & Zangheri, 1952 * '' Tetramo ...
