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,[2] while Borowiec (2016) reviewed and revised the genera, resurrecting many genera which had previously been merged.[3] Dorylinae genera are suggested to have evolved sometime between 102 to 74 million years ago, subsequently undergoing rapid adaptive radiation events during their early history.[2] Dorylinae ants including Eciton species, exhibit army ant behavior. [4]Non-army Doryline ants like Yunodorylus provides evolution of the army ant adaptive syndrome, including group foraging, nomadism, and specialized queens.[5]
