Arnoldi (1968) erected the genus Leonomyrma for a single newspecies, L. spinosa, which he had collected in July, 1949, nearPeremetriaja, East-Kasachstan (USSR), at the lower course of UralRiver. Up until present, only the type series of 4 ♀♀ and 14 ♂♂ havebeen known; no ☿☿ were found. In the course of a study in morphologyand behavior of several species of the ant genus Chalepoxenus,I came across the description of Leonomyrma. A directcomparison of its holotype (♀) and an allotype (♂) with material oftwo Chalepoxenus species, C. muellerianus (Finzi) (= C. gribodoiMenozzi) and C. kutteri Cagniant, clearly revealed the synonymy ofthe two genera
