盲切叶蚁属
膜翅目蚁科的一属昆虫
盲切叶蚁属（学名：Carebara）又称盲切叶蚁属或重头蚁属 [2]，是家蚁亚科的一种属。该属包含了世界上最小的蚂蚁 —— 原子盲切叶蚁（Carebara atoma）

描述
该属是一个庞大的体系属，拥有 234个有效物种（包括 9个化石物种）和 22 个亚种。[11]
该属的物种几乎遍布全球，主要记录在热带和亚热带地区。部分物种在土壤或白蚁的土丘中筑巢，有些物种也会栖息在烂木中。盲切叶蚁属的大多数物种的体型十分微小，并且常年居住在地底，主要以死昆虫和其他无脊椎动物为食。[11]
然而，一些物种是具有大规模掠夺习性的侵略性地面捕食者（俗称行军蚁，但不是真正意义上的行军蚁），例如已经被撤销的巨首蚁属（Pheidologeton）。目前关于盲切叶蚁的行为学和生命周期的研究仍然有限。[11]
该属根据木盲切叶蚁（Carebara lignata）建立，同时也是该属的模式种。它在成立初期被纳入了一个独立的亚科：Attidae，但该亚科现已撤销。后来，该属的分类学地位在部落中经历了几次变化：
Solenopsidini (Forel 1893)
巨首蚁族 Pheidologetini Emery, 1914
巨首蚁属群 Pheidologeton genus group
由于不同种姓和多态性的记录不完整。以下分类被认为是盲切叶蚁属的异名：
- 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
- 稀切叶蚁属 Oligomyrmex Mayr, 1867
- Paedalgus Forel
- Parvimyrma Eguchi & Bui
- 巨首蚁属 Pheidologeton Mayr, 1862 拟大头家蚁属
- Solenops Karavaiev, 1930
- Spelaeomyrmex Wheeler, W.M., 1922
- Sporocleptes Arnold, 1948
最终，基于对 11个基因的全面系统发育分析，该属被纳入了举腹蚁族之下。
属的级别的分类学变化已经取代了盲切叶蚁属的一些早期区域修订。此外，缺乏全面的修订，尤其是对旧世界物种的修订，给物种识别带来了困难。为了解决这些问题，研究者对以下区域进行了研究：印度、沙特阿拉伯、非洲热带地区、巴西、马达加斯加和澳大利亚。关于种团的研究最初集中在新大陆物种上，Fernández 回顾了美国物种，并根据工蚁种姓的形态提出了五个物种群。在旧世界，Bharti 和 Kumar 于2013年首次研究了盲切叶蚁属的种群。他们将11个印度物种分为三组，基于 C. asina 的无眼小型工蚁将 C. concinna 种团与木盲切叶蚁种团（C. lignata species group）融合 。
Fischer 等人于2014年建立了 C. polita 种团，该种团与巨首蚁具有形态相似性，包括6个非洲热带物种和2个新热带物种。本研究还将巨首蚁属与盲切叶蚁属同义。后来 Fischer 等人于 2015年建立了 phragmotica 种团，Hosoishi 等人于 2022年提出了 acutispina 种团，但是这两个种团都包括了C. phragmotic。
毒性
矮盲切叶蚁具有毒液。在泰国西部的一次田间调查中，一位收集者不小心被这个蚂蚁蛰伤了。并在几分钟后内出现瘙痒的皮疹，并在两天内出现水泡。[12]
