Notes
- ↑ †Curticorna was placed in Dorylinae by Hong (2002), but this genus is "definitely not Dorylinae" according to Barry Bolton.[2] Dlussky & Wedmann (2012) suggest that Curticorna may belong to Ectatomminae.[3]
- ↑ †Eoaenictites was placed in Aenictinae (now Dorylinae) by Hong (2002), but this genus is "definitely not Aenictinae" according to Barry Bolton.[4]
- ↑ Genus is unidentifiable, previously placed in Formicinae and Dolichoderinae.
