For those updates, where it belongs:

An article Schenck, 1861.
An article Casadei Ferreira et al., 2016.
Kutter, 1977, for Teleutomyrmex.
Kutter, 1977, for Anergates.
And a few small corrections.....

A remark about synonymy.

Tetramorium friedlandi (Creighton, 1934) is now a synonym from Tetramorium atratulum (Schenck, 1852), more precisely an introduced form in North America (see also Schär, Talavera, Espadaler, Rana, Andersen, Cover, Vila, 2018.). This synonymy was given by Creighton, 1950. So, the name is Tetramorium atratulum (Schenck, 1852)...

Synonyms of the host species.

- T. caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758) (= Formica caespitum Linnaeus, 1758)

And then...

…, if you follow the line further that Ward, Brady, Fisher, Schultz, 2015 (“2014”) outlined, the first 9 extreme, workerless inquilines become a few species in the genus Strongylognathus Mayr, 1853.

01) Strongylognathus inquilinum (Ward, Brady, Fisher, Schultz, 2015 (“2014”))
(= Strongylognathus schneideri (Kutter, 1950))
02) Strongylognathus kutteri (Tinaut, 1990)
03) Strongylognathus seiferti (Kiran, Karaman, 2017, in Kiran, et al. 2017)
04) Strongylognathus buschingeri (Lapeva-Gjonova, 2017, in Kiran, et al. 2017)
05) Strongylognathus albenae (Salata, van Delft, Borowiec, 2023, in Salata, van Delft, van Delft, Georgiadis, Borowiec, 2023)

07) Strongylognathus atratulus (Schenck, 1852)
08) (= Strongylognathus friedlandi (Creighton, 1934))

09) Strongylognathus microgyna (Santschi, 1918)
10) Strongylognathus parasiticum (Bolton, 1980)

If you followed the systematics of ants in 2014-2015, you noticed that all the species of Teleutomyrmex Kutter, 1950 and Anergates Forel, 1874 became Tetramorium Mayr, 1855. But normally, they should have the name Strongylognathus Mayr, 1853. No, they, Ward, Brady, Fisher, Schultz, 2015 (“2014”), didn't like that! So, until the ICZN would say different, they kept Tetramorium Mayr, 1855.

And now you find under a few species, described in the "normal" genus “Teleutomyrmex Kutter, 1950”, this:

[Note: Kiran, et al. 2017: 146, retain the paraphyletic genus Teleutomyrmex.]

But they keep themselves a paraphyletic genus, nl. Tetramorium Mayr, 1855!. So it should be Strongylognathus Mayr, 1853...

And further:

The morphological and ethological differences between Tetramorium, Anergates and Teleutomyrmex.

There are a few very remarkable differences between these “genera”:

Tetramorium.
Worker: Yes.
Queen: Normal hind body without impression.
First gastral segment normal proportion.
Legs normal.
Normal behaviour.

Anergates.
Worker: No.
Queen: Normal hind body with longitudinal impression (virgin female.).
Normal proportion of first gastral segment.
Legs normal.
Normal behaviour.

Teleutomyrmex.
Worker: No.
Queen: Flat, plate-like hind body, no impression (virgin female.).
First gastral segment great, forming front half or more of gaster.
Legs with greatly enlarged tarsi and arioia.
High grasping tendency.

Tetramorium.
Male: Normal male with normal wings.
Legs normal.
Normal behaviour.

Anergates.
Male: Pupoïd male without wings (sometimes only small vestiges.).
Legs normal.
Almost not able to walk.

Teleutomyrmex.
Male: Pupoïd male with “reduced”, non-functional wings.
Legs with slightly enlarged tarsi and ariola.
Almost not able to walk, low grasping tendency.

Tetramorium.
Colony: Normal colony.

Anergates.
Colony: Host queen absent, colony disappears in 2 years.

Teleutomyrmex.
Colony: Host queen present, colony reduced.
