麝香弓背蚁亚属（学名：Myrmosaulus）是弓背蚁属之下的一个亚属，英文称为“Monster-head Carpenter Ants” （意译为：怪物头木匠蚁）。由Wheeler于1921年描述。^[1]^[2]

描述

突厥弓背蚁（胸部为平整的）

无畏弓背蚁（并胸腹节明显为凸起的）+（头部特化）

该亚属物种从大型至中型；二态性明显。头部一般侧缘圆润，后缘凹陷；小头有侧缘笔直或圆形，后缘凸起或尖状（导弹形），一些物种的末端为颈部，如巨人恐蚁（Dinomyrmex gigas）和一些细瘦弓背蚁亚属（Tanaemyrmex）亚属的物种。前缘产生矩形或圆形叶，类似细瘦弓背蚁亚属。下颌骨沿咀嚼边缘有 6-8 个简单齿;齿状物有时沿基缘出现。柄节略长于后头缘，即使在大种中也是如此。在工蚁中，中体背侧呈圆形;后吻合线深至轻微压痕；在前一种情况下，前足形状为圆形凸起;后鼻气孔在中体背侧非常明显。叶柄通常或多或少呈结节状。花序和胫骨有细小的白色毛（除了 C. aurocinctus（注：C. aurocinctus被Shattuck & McArthur (2002) 转移到未排名的wiederckehri组）。^[2]

特点

该亚属的大部分工蚁的中并胸腹节在与并胸腹节之间都会有凹陷，且并胸腹节后部微凸起。^[2] 该亚属部分物种的大型工蚁的头部具有极度特化现象。
