Aneuretinae

Aneuretinae is a subfamily of ants consisting of a single extant species, Aneuretus simoni (Sri Lankan relict ant), and 9 fossil species.^[2] Earlier, the phylogenetic position of A. simoni was thought to be intermediate between primitive and advanced subfamilies of ants,^[3] but recent studies have shown it is the nearest living relative of subfamily Dolichoderinae.^[4][5]
