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]

Species

gollark: I mean, it would be less arbitrary by some metrics to go "nothing is a person, human life has value 0" but people don't like that.
gollark: A more arbitrary rule might be better if it lines up with moral intuitions even.
gollark: That is still not actually objective. Also, threshold of probability on that?
gollark: The best you can do is pick a "less arbitrary" one somehow.
