text: # Myrmicinae
  
  Le Mirmicine (Myrmicinae Lepeletier, 1835) sono la sottofamiglia più numerosa della famiglia Formicidae.
  
  ## Descrizione
  
  Le Mirmicine sono caratterizzate dalla presenza di un peziolo composto da due articoli nodiformi fra l'addome ed il torace e dalla presenza del pungiglione. Il torace, corto ed irregolare, presenta in alcune specie spine sull'epinoto, mentre l'addome, di dimensioni ridotte rispetto al resto del corpo, ha una forma ovale.
