Iberoformica is a small genus of ants in the subfamily Formicinae.

Taxonomy

The genus was first described as a subgenus of Formica by Tinaut (1990), when he reclassified Formica subrufa as Iberoformica subrufa, the type species of the new subgenus. Agosti (1994) synonymized the subgenus with Formica, and the taxon was finally revived and elevated to genus rank by Muñoz-López et al. (2012) based on molecular data.

Species

• Iberoformica subrufa (Roger, 1859)
