Tribe Gesomyrmecini Ashmead 1905

= Dimorphomyrmii Emery 1895 = Gesomyrmini Forel 1912

= † Sicelomyrmicini Wheeler 1929

Genera: Gesomyrmex, † Prodimorphomyrmex, † Sicilomyrmex .

Comments. The tribe Gesomyrmecini is here restricted to Gesomyrmex and two similar fossil taxa (Wheeler 1915). Bolton (2003) also placed Santschiella in Gesomyrmecini, but the molecular results do not support a close relationship between Gesomyrmex and Santschiella (Blaimer et al. 2015) . The similarities between the two—very large eyes, widely separated antennal insertions, and scapes that pass below the eyes (Bolton 2003)—must be interpreted as due to convergence.
