Dolichoderinae，特别是Azteca和Iridomyrmex物种，是多米尼加琥珀中最丰富的代表蚂蚁。它们在琥珀中出现的属的数量也是例外的，但在大安的列斯群岛的现代动物群中却没有。在其他两个地区，自中新世早期以来，Dolichoderinae似乎经历了相当大的撤退，导致了局部灭绝，仅此一项，化石物种就值得密切关注。在本审查中，主要依靠过去10年为比较动物学博物馆收集的大量藏品，并辅之以罗伯特·E·伍德拉夫博士借出的大量材料。所有的全息模式(Dolichoderus dibolia除外)和大部分的准型都已保存在比较动物学博物馆。在佛罗里达州盖恩斯维尔的佛罗里达州立节肢动物保藏馆中，已经放置了双圆线虫的正型和一些准型。本系列的前几部分分别讨论了已灭绝的桃金娘属和行军蚁(威尔逊，1985a，b)。
The Dolichoderinae, in particular the species of Azteca and Iridomyrmex, are by a wide margin the most abundantly represented ants in the Dominican amber. They are also exceptional in the number of genera occurring in the amber but not in the modern fauna of the Greater Antilles. In other wo’ds the Dolichoderinae appear to have undergone a considerable amount of retreat entailing local extinction since early Miocene times, and for this reason alone the fossil species deserve close attention. In the present review have relied principally on the large collections have assembled for the Museum of Comparative Zoology during the past l0 years, supplemented substantially by material loaned by Dr. Robert E. Woodruff. All of the holotypes (except Dolichoderus dibolia) and most of the paratypes have been deposited in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. The holotype of D. dibolia and a few paratypes have been placed in the Florida State Collection of Arthropods, Gainesville, Florida. Earlier parts of this series have dealt with extinct myrmicine genera and the ecitonine army ants respectively (Wilson, 1985a, b).
