subtropics The subtropical zones or subtropics are geographical and climate zones to the north and south of the tropics. Geographically part of the temperate zones of both hemispheres, they cover the middle latitudes from to approximately 35° north and ...

throughout the world. This genus is present in both the Old and New World and is certainly native to all continents except Antarctica and Europe. In Europe only a single species, ''Anochetus ghilianii'', has been found, and it is not certain it is native to its European range (Province of Cadiz and Gibraltar). However ''A. ghilianii'' is native to Morocco. ''Anochetus'' is of some note due to it being one of the relatively few genera that possess ''trap-jaws'', or specialized long mandibles that have a rapid closing mechanism. However, it is the only other genus, other than ''Odontomachus'' that uses the mandibles for predator evasion as well as prey capture.
