颚针蚁属

颚针蚁属 (Anochetus ) 主要栖息于热带及亚热带地区，少数几种栖息于温带地区，具有触发式大颚 (trap-jaw) ，肉食性^[1][2]。姊妹群为锯针蚁属^[3][4]，锯针蚁属和颚针蚁属是锯针蚁族下唯二的成员，Santos et al. (2010) 的研究支持锯针蚁属是由颚针蚁属演化而来的假说^[5]。

与易混淆物种的辨别方式

与锯针蚁属

锯针蚁属的腹柄节顶端具有一齿，而颚针蚁属的具有两齿或呈圆滑状^[6]；锯针蚁属的头部后方具有缝线，呈现倒 V 字形，有时候会稍微内凹，颚针蚁属则呈现倒 U 字形^[6]。

与瘤颚家蚁

在野外小型的颚针蚁常和瘤颚家蚁搞混，但瘤颚家蚁有两节腹柄节，而颚针蚁只有一节。
