Chimaeridris
Chimaeridris is a small genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae.[2] The genus contains two species known from tropical Asia. Their unique hook-shaped mandibles and similar appearance to Pheidole minor workers raises the possibility that the genus is a slave-maker of Pheidole ants or a specialized predator.[3]
