Iberoformica is a small genus of ants in the subfamily Formicinae.[2]
Taxonomy

The genus was first described as a subgenus of Formica by Tinaut (1990), when he reclassified Formica subrufa as Iberoformica subrufa, the type species of the new subgenus.[3] Agosti (1994) synonymized the subgenus with Formica, and the taxon was finally revived and elevated to genus rank by Muñoz-López et al. (2012) based on molecular data.[4][5]
Species

Iberoformica subrufa (Roger, 1859)
