The First Record of the Subfamily Aenictinae (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from Iran. Radchenko A. G.,bAlipanah H. \— Aenictus dlusskyi Arnoldi, 1968, the member of the subfamily Aenictinae, is recorded for the first time from Iran. Collected material was compared with the types of two closely related species, A. dlusskyi and A. rhodiensis Menozzi. Differences between these species are shown.

Army ants are dominant social hunters of invertebrates and thereby play an integral role in tropical ecosystems. They\ are defined by a suite of evolutionarily interrelated physiological, behavioural and morphological traits, the army ant adaptive syndrome: they are obligate group predators, they frequently relocate their nests, and their permanently wingless queens found new colonies accompanied by workers. If this functional definition is applied rather than a taxonomic\  one, army ants have evolved repeatedly in distantly related groups of ants. In addition, army ants typically have extremely male-biased numerical sex-ratios, and the queens of the studied species are inseminated by many males. The\ aim of this review is to provide a synthesis of the most recent work on army ant biology, to outline an evolutionary scenario that connects the different aspects of army ant life-history, and to give some directions for future research.\

All of the known Indo-Australian species of Dorykunae, 4 in Dorylus\ and 34 in Aenictus, are included in this revision. Eight of the Aenictus species are described as new:\ artpus, chapmani, doryloides, exilis, huonicus, nganduensis, ohiliporum\ and schneirlai.\ Phylogenetic and numerical analyses resulted in the discarding of two extant subgenera of Aenictus\ (Typhlatta and Paaranictus) and the loose clustering of the species into 5 informa\ \"groups\" within the unified genus Aenictus. A consisterncy test for phylogenetic characters is discussed. The African and Indo-Australian doryline\ species are compared, and available information in the biology of the Indo-Australian species is summarized.

Ants of the genus Aenictus are recorded from Laos for the first time. Here, we report six species including a new species and a new status: Aenictus binghami Forel, A. cf. dentatus Forel, A. doydeei Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. cf. fuchuanensis Zhou, A. hodgsoni Forel, stat. nov., and A. nishimurai Terayama et Kubota. A. doydeei sp. nov. is very probably a nocturnal species.

Twelve species groups are established in the ant genus Aenictus of the eastern part of Oriental region, and Indo-Australian\ and Australasian regions, and the species of the Aenictus currax group and A. laeviceps group are revised.
