'''''Pheidologeton''''' is a ] of ]s, also called '''marauder ants''', due to their raids similar to those of ]s. Their nests are more permanent but almost as large as those of army ants. This genus of ant is recognisable by its dramatic ], the difference in sizes of the worker ]s; there is a super-major worker in addition to major and minor.


{{R from alternative scientific name|ant}}
There are about 42 ]/subspecies in this genus. They range from ] through ] into ].
{{R with history}}

Two ] species are known.

Marauder ants are divided into larger and smaller ants, which live and work together in the same nest. The larger ones act as "buses" or "taxis" for the smaller ants, letting them ride on their abdomen to avoid being crushed and prevent them from needlessly losing energy.
Whether a pupa becomes a larger or smaller ant is due to random chance.
