Ravavy is a Malagasy genus of ant in the subfamily Dolichoderinae containing the single species Ravavy miafina.
The shape of the clypeus, length of scape and form of petiole, together form an inclusive diagnosis that isolates Ravavy from all other genera in the subfamily.
The shape of the mandible in Bothriomyrmex, however, is reminiscent in some respects.
The mandible in Bothriomyrmex is not triangular as in Tapinoma for example, but like Ravavy, has a short masticatory margin compared to the basal margin.
In Bothriomyrmex, however, the masticatory margin includes at least three teeth, while in Ravavy a single tooth is present.
