Most Old World army ants belong to the tribe Dorylini. This tribe was formerly classified as the subfamily Dorylinae, and is composed of two genera, one of which (Aenictus) was formerly placed in its own tribe, Aenictini. The other genus, Dorylus, contains the aggressive "driver ants", of which there are some 70 species known.
