Tribe Plagiolepidini Forel 1886

= Bregmatomyrminii Wheeler 1929

Genera: Acropyga (tribal transfer), Agraulomyrmex, Anoplolepis (tribal transfer), Aphomomyrmex, Bregmatomyrma, Lepisiota, Petalomyrmex, Plagiolepis, Tapinolepis .

Comments. A number of genera previously placed in Plagiolepidini, such as Brachymyrmex, Myrmelachista, Nylanderia, and Prenolepis, are here transferred elsewhere (to either Lasiini or Myrmelachistini), and the tribe is now comprised exclusively of Old World taxa, except for the cosmopolitan Acropyga . The placement of Bregmatomyrma has not been evaluated with sequence data, and its retention in Plagiolepidini remains provisional. A taxonomic revision of the plagiolepidine genera is overdue.
