Tetramorium
is a genus of small- to medium-sized myrmicine ants whose considerable diversity is centered in the old world. Several species have been transported extensively with human commerce, including the common European pavement ant, now among the most abundant insects in temperate North American cities.
Tetramorium "species E"- the pavement ant. This species was known as Tetramorium caespitum until recently, when detailed taxonomic and genetic work revealed that these common sidewalk ants were distinct from the Eurasian T. caespitum.
