描述
该亚属物种从大型至中型;二态性明显。 头部一般侧缘圆润,后缘凹陷;小头有侧缘笔直或圆形,后缘凸起或尖状(导弹形),一些物种的末端为颈部,如巨人恐蚁(Dinomyrmex gigas)和一些细瘦弓背蚁亚属(Tanaemyrmex)亚属的物种。前缘产生矩形或圆形叶,类似细瘦弓背蚁亚属。 下颌骨沿咀嚼边缘有 6-8 个简单齿;齿状物有时沿基缘出现。 柄节略长于后头缘,即使在大种中也是如此。 在工蚁中,中体背侧呈圆形;后吻合线深至轻微压痕;在前一种情况下,前足形状为圆形凸起;后鼻气孔在中体背侧非常明显。 叶柄通常或多或少呈结节状。 花序和胫骨有细小的白色毛(除了 C. aurocinctus(注:C. aurocinctus被Shattuck & McArthur (2002) 转移到未排名的wiederckehri组)。[2]
特点
该亚属的大部分工蚁的中并胸腹节在与并胸腹节之间都会有凹陷,且并胸腹节后部微凸起。[2] 该亚属部分物种的大型工蚁的头部具有极度特化现象。
