Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox

Dorylinae is an ant subfamily, with distributions in both the Old World and New World. Brady et al. (2014) synonymized the previous dorylomorph subfamilies (Aenictinae, Aenictogitoninae, Cerapachyinae, Ecitoninae, and Leptanilloidinae) under Dorylinae,<ref name="Brady_et_al_2014"/> while Borowiec (2016) reviewed and revised the genera, resurrecting many genera which had previously been merged.<ref name="Borowiec_2016">Template:Cite journal</ref> Dorylinae genera are suggested to have evolved sometime between Template:Ma, subsequently undergoing rapid adaptive radiation events during their early history.<ref name="Brady_et_al_2014">Template:Cite journal</ref> Dorylinae ants including Eciton species, exhibit army ant behavior.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Non-army Doryline ants like Yunodorylus provides evolution of the army ant adaptive syndrome, including group foraging, nomadism, and specialized queens.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
