Aenictogiton is a genus of ants, comprising seven species, and given its own subfamily, Aenictogitoninae. All of the species are known only from males from middle Africa and show a phylogenetic affinity to the army ants (and are included in the dorylomorph subfamilies). Nothing is known about the workers, queens and behavior of these ants. A few undescribed species are known to exist in a few collections in the world.
