Aneuretinae is a subfamily of ants consisting of a single extant species, Aneuretus simoni (Sri Lankan relict ant), and 9 fossil species.[2] Earlier, the phylogenetic position of A. simoni was thought to be intermediate between primitive and advanced subfamilies of ants,[3] but recent studies have shown it is the nearest living relative of subfamily Dolichoderinae.[4][5]
