Tetramorium is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae that includes more than 520 species. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] These ants are also known as pavement ants . Taxonomy and phylogeny
The North American species of the pavement ants has formerly been considered Tetramorium caespitum, the subspecies Tetramorium caespitum immigrans, and species E. In 2017, the Tetramorium caespitum complex was revised, and the pavement ant commonly found in North America was determined to be Tetramorium immigrans. The species is also found in ...

The Tetramorium bicarinatum's venom arrangement shows potential for a new pharmacologically active substance, bicarinalin. This antibacterial , antimicrobial , and anti-infective compound could potentially be chemically synthesized to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens by means of drug therapy.
Tetramorium inquilinum is an ectoparasitic ant found in Europe. It was discovered by Swiss myrmecologist Heinrich Kutter. [3] The species is unusual for lacking a worker caste, the queens and males living entirely off the care of the pavement ant. [4] It has been called "the 'ultimate' parasitic ant" by myrmecologists Edward O. Wilson and Bert ...
Tetramorium insolens is a species of ant in the genus Tetramorium. [1] It is a medium-sized orange ant that is mainly seen on vegetation, has a monomorphic work caste with 12-segmented antennae, three-segmented antennal club, short antennal scapes that do not surpass the posterior margin of the head, a gradually sloped mesosoma, and strong propodeal spines.
Tetramorium hispidum is a species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae. [1] Tetramorium hispidum differs from similar ants in the Myrmicinae subfamily by the structure surrounding the ant's antennal insertions. Short, stubble-like hairs exist on the pronotum and frontal carinae. The antenna of Tetramorium hispidum contains 11 segments. [2]
Tetramorium atratulum is a rare workerless socially parasitic ant from the Palaearctic region, which has even been introduced together with its host in North America. This extreme inquiline is represented only by female and pupoid type male individuals, whose morphology and anatomy indicate a highly specialized level of parasitism.
