寡家蟻屬
膜翅目蚁科的一属昆虫
寡家蟻屬（學名：Carebara）又稱寡家蟻屬或重頭蟻屬 [2]，是家蟻亞科的一種屬。該屬包含了世界上最小的螞蟻 —— 原子盲切葉蟻（Carebara atoma）

描述
該屬是一個龐大的體系屬，擁有 234個有效物種（包括 9個化石物種）和 22 個亞種。[11]
該屬的物種幾乎遍布全球，主要記錄在熱帶和亞熱帶地區。部分物種在土壤或白蟻的土丘中築巢，有些物種也會棲息在爛木中。寡家蟻屬的大多數物種的體型十分微小，並且常年居住在地底，主要以死昆蟲和其他無脊椎動物為食。[11]
然而，一些物種是具有大規模掠奪習性的侵略性地面捕食者（俗稱行軍蟻，但不是真正意義上的行軍蟻），例如已經被撤銷的巨首蟻屬（Pheidologeton）。目前關於盲切葉蟻的行為學和生命周期的研究仍然有限。[11]
該屬根據木盲切葉蟻（Carebara lignata）建立，同時也是該屬的模式種。它在成立初期被納入了一個獨立的亞科：Attidae，但該亞科現已撤銷。後來，該屬的分類學地位在部落中經歷了幾次變化：
Solenopsidini (Forel 1893)
巨首蟻族 Pheidologetini Emery, 1914
巨首蟻屬群 Pheidologeton genus group
由於不同種姓和多態性的記錄不完整。以下分類被認為是寡家蟻屬的異名：
- Aeromyrma Forel, 1891
- Afroxyidris Belshaw & Bolton, 1994
- Amauromyrmex Wheeler, W.M., 1929
- Aneleus Emery, 1900
- Crateropsis Patrizi, 1948
- Erebomyrma Wheeler, W.M., 1903
- Hendecatella Wheeler, W.M., 1927
- Idrisella Santschi, 1937
- Lecanomyrma Forel, 1913
- Neoblepharidatta Sheela & Narendran, 1997
- Nimbamyrma Bernard, 1953
- 稀切葉蟻屬 Oligomyrmex Mayr, 1867
- Paedalgus Forel
- Parvimyrma Eguchi & Bui
- 巨首蟻屬 Pheidologeton Mayr, 1862 擬大頭家蟻屬
- Solenops Karavaiev, 1930
- Spelaeomyrmex Wheeler, W.M., 1922
- Sporocleptes Arnold, 1948
最終，基於對 11個基因的全面系統發育分析，該屬被納入了舉腹蟻族之下。
屬的級別的分類學變化已經取代了寡家蟻屬的一些早期區域修訂。此外，缺乏全面的修訂，尤其是對舊世界物種的修訂，給物種識別帶來了困難。為了解決這些問題，研究者對以下區域進行了研究：印度、沙烏地阿拉伯、非洲熱帶地區、巴西、馬達加斯加和澳大利亞。關於種團的研究最初集中在新大陸物種上，Fernández 回顧了美國物種，並根據工蟻種姓的形態提出了五個物種群。在舊世界，Bharti 和 Kumar 於2013年首次研究了寡家蟻屬的種群。他們將11個印度物種分為三組，基於 C. asina 的無眼小型工蟻將 C. concinna 種團與木盲切葉蟻種團（C. lignata species group）融合 。
Fischer 等人於2014年建立了 C. polita 種團，該種團與巨首蟻具有形態相似性，包括6個非洲熱帶物種和2個新熱帶物種。本研究還將巨首蟻屬與寡家蟻屬同義。後來 Fischer 等人於 2015年建立了 phragmotica 種團，Hosoishi 等人於 2022年提出了 acutispina 種團，但是這兩個種團都包括了C. phragmotic。
毒性
矮盲切葉蟻具有毒液。在泰國西部的一次田間調查中，一位收集者不小心被這個螞蟻蟄傷了。並在幾分鐘後內出現瘙癢的皮疹，並在兩天內出現水泡。[12]
