Phylogeny of Formicidae

Relationships among ant subfamilies (extant taxa only) based on Brady et al. 2006, Moreau et al. 2006 , Ward 2007 and Rabeling et al. 2008. More recently, Kück et al. 2011 reanalysed these data and found that the positions of Martialinae and Leptanillinae should be swapped, and that there was limited support for the specific relationships within the clade that includes Formicinae. See Alex Wild's comments for an interpretation of these new findings.
