Ectatomminae is a subfamily of ants in the poneromorph subfamilies group containing four extant and three extinct genera in two tribes.[1] The subfamily was described in 2003 when Barry Bolton divided the Ponerinae subfamily into six subfamilies.[2] Heteroponerinae used to be an independent subfamily, but was merged into Ectatomminae in 2022.[3] The taxonomical position of Ectatomminae was further upheld in a genomic reanalysis conducted with alternate methods in 2024.[4]
