Species of Fisheropone

Only a single species has been described from this genus although at least one undescribed species is known. The described species, F. ambigua (Weber), has been a junior secondary homonym of Pachycondyla ambigua André, 1890 and was replaced by Pachycondyla gulera Özdikmen, 2010 . However, as these names are here placed in separate genera the replacement name is unnecessary and becomes a junior objective synonym of F. ambigua Weber.

Bolton & Fisher (2011) discuss F. ambigua and consider it closely related to weberi (Bernard, 1953) . However, an examination of type material (held in MCZC) of weberi (Bernard) support the placement of this species in Mesoponera rather than Fisheropone, and thus these species are not treated as closely related in this study.
