【颚针蚁属】
颚针蚁属 (Anochetus ) 主要栖息于热带及亚热带地区，少数几种栖息于温带地区，具有触发式大颚 (trap-jaw) ，肉食性。姊妹群为锯针蚁属，锯针蚁属和颚针蚁属是锯针蚁族下唯二的成员，Santos et al. (2010) 的研究支持锯针蚁属是由颚针蚁属演化而来的假说。
== 物种描述 ==
具有细长并向前延伸的大颚，能够打开至接近 180° ，能够以极快的速度闭合大颚。体型小至中等 (2.9 mm ~ 12 mm)。体色通常较为黯淡，棕色、黑色、红色、黄色，有些物种双色。
== 与易混淆物种的辨别方式 ==
=== 与锯针蚁属 ===
锯针蚁属的腹柄节顶端具有一齿，而颚针蚁属的具有两齿或呈圆滑状；锯针蚁属的头部后方具有缝线，呈现倒 V 字形，有时候会稍微内凹，颚针蚁属则呈现倒 U 字形。
=== 与瘤颚家蚁 ===
在野外小型的颚针蚁常和瘤颚家蚁搞混，但瘤颚家蚁有两节腹柄节，而颚针蚁只有一节。
== 地区性物种分布 ==
