Probolomyrmex is a genus of ants in the subfamily Proceratiinae.[2] The genus is distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics.[3] The ants are very rare, and are rarely collected in the field, but they appear to be nesting in the leaf litter or in rotten wood. Little is known about their biology.[4]
