Diagnosis. FEMALE. Head black; frons, vertex, and gena punctures large confluent; vertex without medial longitudinal carina; clypeus medially elevated but lacking tubercle. Mandible wide tridentate, oblique to apex, dorsal subapical tooth distinct but smaller than middle subapical tooth, middle subapical tooth subequal to apical tooth. F1 dark brown. Mesosoma entirely red; dorsal thoracic length 0.98× mesosomal width; humeral carina lamellately projecting; posterior propodeal face with medial longitudinal carina. Legs yellowish red with meso- and metafemoral apices, tibiae, and tarsi black. Metasoma with bluish metallic luster; T2 length 0.93× width; T2 disc flattened medially, with anteromedial elongate spot of pale golden setae; T2 punctures small confluent; T2 posterior band wide, pale golden, complete; T3 with black setae; S1 reddish; S2 punctures large sparse; surface of pygidial plate smooth; lateral margins of pygidial plate slightly convergent anteriorly, carinate on posterior half. MALE. Unknown. Material examined. 1♀ . Malaysia : SABAH : Kalabakan , 3–11.IV.1973 , K.M. Guichard leg., B. Petersen det. [ 1♀ ZMUC ] . Distribution. Malaysia : Sabah . Remarks. Andreimyrme neaera , A . paniya , and A . sarawakensis are recognized within Andreimyrme by lacking a pale setal band on T3 and having the pygidial plate smooth, but this species differs from the latter two by having the head black (ventrally reddish in A . paniya ), the frons, vertex, and gena with large confluent punctures (with small sparse punctures in A . sarawakensis ), the mesosoma entirely red (posterior propodeal face with black spot in A . paniya ), the metasoma metallic blue (dark red in A . paniya ), the T2 spot present (absent in A . paniya and A . sarawakensis ), and the T2 posterior band wide and complete (narrow and interrupted in A . paniya ). The specimen examined herein has the antennal rim, mandible, and scape dark brown (ferruginous in holotype ) and thoracic dorsum with black setae (ferruginous in holotype ).
