Myrmelachistini
Myrmelachistine Ants
Myrmelachistini is a tribe of ants in the subfamily Formicinae, resurrected in 2016 from synonymy under Plagiolepidini. The tribe contains two genera: Brachymyrmex (rover ants) and Myrmelachista. Together these genera comprise at least 50 described species. The tribe is characterized by specific morphological and molecular distinctions that separate it from other formicine tribes.
