# Tetramorium

Tetramorium es un género de hormigas en la subfamilia Myrmicinae que incluye más de 520 especies.
Tetramorium fue descrita por primera vez en la misma publicación que Monomorium.

## Descripción

Las obreras de la mayoría de las especies tienen un clípeo estriado, un aguijón, mandíbulas con 3 o 4 dientes, y las antenas con 11 o 12 segmentos o con las mazas de 3 segmentos en las puntas. El género se divide en varios grupos de especies definidas por varios caracteres.

## Distribución

La mayoría de las especies se distribuyen en las regiones orientales y afrotropical. Diez especies han sido registradas en Japón. La hormiga del pavimento, T. caespitum, es originaria de Europa y fue probablemente introducido en América del Norte a partir del siglo XVIII.

## Biología

La mayoría de las especies anidan en el suelo, en madera en descomposición o en la hojarasca. Algunas viven en los árboles o en nidos de termitas.
