I've only seen info on Leptomyrmex sp. workers, but no information about the queens. Are they gamergates like Bullet Ants? Or do they have wingless queens that leave the nest to mate? I think it would be a very interesting species to know more about, since I haven't found that much about the, and would like to learn more about them.

Leptomyrmex have ergatoid queens.

I was referring to just the queens.
