烈蚁属(学名:Dorylus),又称狩猎蚁属英语:Safari ants),为蚁科行军蚁亚科的一属。主要分布在非洲大陆中部的南部地区,亚洲热带地区也有分布。一个蚁群形成的时间为几天至三个月左右,所拥有成员的数量可超过二十万只,据说其群体内的士兵类蚁(soldier class)拥有巨大的头部和钳形的下颌,甚至大过工蚁(它们会为工蚁服务,如开辟前行的道路等),它们异常凶猛,叮咬能力强,但很少刺痛他人,而是依靠其剪形的下颚来捕获食物和进行自我防卫。

Dorylus 烈蚁属

(重定向自Siafu)

Dorylus sp. in Cameroon, consuming a grasshopper
Dorylus sp. in Zambia, consuming mayonnaise

Dorylus, also known as driver ants, safari ants, or siafu, is a large genus of army ants found primarily in central and east Africa, although the range also extends to southern Africa and tropical Asia. The term siafu is a loanword from Swahili, and is one of numerous similar words from regional Bantu languages used by indigenous peoples to describe various species of these ants. Unlike the New World members of the former subfamily Ecitoninae (now Dorylinae), members of this genus do form temporary anthills lasting from a few days up to three months. Each colony can contain over 20 million individuals. As with their New World counterparts, there is a soldier class among the workers, which is larger, with a very large head and pincer-like mandibles. They are capable of stinging, but very rarely do so, relying instead on their powerful shearing jaws.
