Amblyopone

Amblyopone is an ancient group of predaceous ants found worldwide. These subterranean ants have elongate mandibles and a characteristic broad posterior attachment of the petiole. Many species, including the widespread North American species A. pallipes and its close relative A. oregonensis, are specialist predators of centipedes.
