Leptanillinae is a subfamily of ants. They are further divided into the tribes Anomalomyrmini and Leptanillini. In all Leptanillini, the larvae feed their hemolymph to the queen through specialized processes on their prothoraces and third abdominal segments.〔Tree of Life Web Project. 2004. (Leptanillini ). Version 21 October 2004 (temporary). In: (The Tree of Life Web Project )〕 This behavior resembles that of the unrelated ''Adetomyrma'', also called Dracula ants, which pierce their larvae to obtain body fluids. At least ''Leptanilla'' and ''Phaulomyrma'' are minute, yellow, blind ants that live below the surface. ==Systematics== * Anomalomyrmini Bolton, 1990 * * ''Anomalomyrma'' Taylor, 1990 * * ''Furcotanilla'' Xu, 2012 * * ''Protanilla'' Taylor, 1990 * Leptanillini Emery, 1910 * * ''Leptanilla'' Emery, 1870 * * ''Phaulomyrma'' G.C.
