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.
