The genus contains the single species Boloponera vicans, known from a single worker specimen collected in leaf litter in the Central African Republic.[2] It is sometimes referred to as Bry's Ant after its discoverer, Brian Fisher.[1] DescriptionThe worker specimen is small (3.3 mm) and orange in color. It has linear mandibles, with two small teeth. Nothing is known about its biology, but the linear mandibles suggest that the ants are specialized predators.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Fisher|first1=Brian|title=Boloponera in Africa|url=https://www.calacademy.org/sites/default/files/blf_cv_2016_may.pdf|website=California Academy of Sciences|accessdate=29 September 2017}} [2][3]2. ^1 {{cite journal |last=Fisher |first=B.
