Biology:Fisheropone
From HandWiki
Fisheropone is a genus of ants in the subfamily Ponerinae. Known from sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar, members of the genus are poorly known. The genus is named after myrmecologist Brian Fisher.[1][2]
Species
As of 2026, the genus contains 13 described species and at least one undescribed species.[3] Ten species were transferred here from Euponera in 2025 after molecular phylogenetic analysis proved the latter polyphyletic.[2]
