Relationships among selected genera of the ant subfamily Formicinae (extant taxa only) modified from Moreau et al. 2006[1], Brady et al. 2006[2] and LaPolla et al. 2010[3]. Tribal placements (based on Bolton[4]) are listed to the left of the genera placed within the tribe. For relationships among the ant subfamilies see Phylogeny of Formicidae.
