琉璃蚁亚科
琉璃蚁亚科（Dolichoderinae）隶属于蚁科，其物种包含阿根廷蚁（Argentine ant "Linepithema humile"）、erratic ant、odorous house ant 及 cone ant 等，该亚科物种多样性高，广布全世界，分布于各个不同的生物地理区，如古北区、新北区、埃塞俄比亚区、马来西亚、中东、澳洲及新热带区等[2]。

该亚科特征有：腹柄节单节、腹部末端裂缝状的孔，可分泌化学物质，不同于山蚁亚科圆形且生有环状毛列的酸孔。琉璃蚁亚科不像针蚁亚科或家蚁亚科一样具有螫针，他们依靠腹部末端的腺体分泌化学物质御敌[3]。
琉璃蚁亚科分泌的化学物质中包含多种萜类化合物，如iridomyrmecin、isoiridomyrmecin 及 iridodial[4]。琉璃蚁亚科的物种被压碎或是被骚扰时发出的气味就是来自于上述的化学物质。
