Phylogeny of Myrmicinae
Relationships among tribes and genera within the subfamily Myrmicinae (extant taxa only). Based on Ward et al. (2014), Blaimer et al. (2018), Li et al. (2018), Solomon et al. (2019) and Cristiano et al. (2020).
For relationships among the subfamilies see Phylogeny of Formicidae.
The following tree is initially collapsed to display only the relationships among tribes. To see genera within a tribe click the ⊞ symbol.
