切叶蚁亚科（學名：Myrmicinae，台湾作家蟻亞科）隸屬於蟻科，現生約140屬[1]，世界廣佈，蛹不結繭，有些物種具螫針，腹柄節兩節，築巢於土中、枯木中、石頭下或活樹中[2]。
家蟻亞科的物種生有明顯的後腹柄節，也就是第三腹節明顯小於第四腹節，且兩者之間具有明顯的隘縮；前胸背板無法自由伸展，與中軀癒合，也就是前中胸背板縫線淺，或是完全消失；通常具有螫針；頭楯發達，因此兩觸角窩不相連；家蟻亞科大部分物種複眼功能完整，面葉（frontal lobes）發達，蓋住部分的觸角根（antennal insertion）[3]。
2014年時從原本的20族減少為6族[4]：
- 切葉蟻族 Attini Smith, 1858
- 舉尾家蟻族 Crematogastrini Forel, 1893
- 家蟻族 Myrmicini Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau, 1835
- 毛收割家蟻族 Pogonomyrmecini Ward, Brady, Fisher & Schultz, 2015
- 火蟻族 Solenopsidini Forel, 1893
- 盲長家蟻族 Stenammini Ashmead, 1905
