Few groups of ants are so potentially interesting to the myrmecologist primarily concerned with phylogeny and social behavior in the Formicidae as the extraordinarily archaic ponerine tribe Myrmecii, composed of the large-eyed, generalized, actively stinging members of the genera Myrmecia and Promyrmecia. Yet despite the fact that the group has been known and recognized scientifically at least since the beginning of the last century, and despite the striking habitus of many species, very few extensive studies have been made on them outside those of Wheeler and of Clark.
