Taxonomy
editWith cryptic and eyeless worker ants, the genus was included in the ant subfamily Cerapachyinae[5][6] until the establishment of a separate subfamily, Leptanilloidinae,[7] hypothesized as the sister group to the Cerapachyinae and all other members of the dorylomorphs.[4] However, they were synonymized with the previous dorylomorph subfamilies (including the Leptanilloidinae) under Dorylinae.[8]
