This species is similar to A . laminatihumeralis sp. nov. and A . matsumotoi sp. nov. as discussed above. The specific name of this species was originally spelled as substriolata , but should be masculine since the gender of Smicromyrme was subsequently regarded as masculine following Article 30.2.4 of ICZN (1999) ( Lelej & Brothers 2008 ). A redescription of A . substriolata was provided by Okayasu (2020) . Taiwanese specimens differ from those of continental Asia and Sumatra by their entirely black legs and larger T2 spot ( Fig. 14 ). Three females from Amami-ôshima Island are identical to the continental form, while a single female from Okinawa-jima Island is intermediate, with entirely black legs, and the T2 spot small ( Fig. 15 ). Therefore, it is premature to describe the Taiwanese population as a separate species. Molecular experiments or discovery of the male are required to answer if these color variants are good species.
