摘要：

Leptogenys propefalcigera Roger in southeastern Brazil feeds exclusively on oniscid isopods, showing a strong preference for one of two species. The ant shows a conspicuous nomadic behavior, with frequent nest relocations. The significance of these features is compared with other species of Leptogenys and specialized predatory ants.
