Cerapachyinae is a subfamily of ants of the Formicidae family. They were previously classified as a tribe of the Ponerinae subfamily, however modern phylogenetics has shown them to be in the Dorylomorph clade along with the subfamily Leptanilloidinae and the army ant subfamilies Ecitoninae, Aenictinae, Aenictogitoninae and Dorylinae.[2][3]
They possess spines on the pygidium and short, thick antennae. They lack dorsal thoracic structures. They are largely predators of other ant species and many Cerapachyinae species display other army ant like behaviors including swarming and cyclic reproduction.[4] There are about 200 species, distributed throughout the tropics.
