However, it is distinguishable from the latter two by the following characteristics of the worker: large size: HL 3.13–3.55 mm, WL 4.15–4.65 mm(vs. small size: HL 2.40–3.03 mm, WL 3.35–4.00 mm in latter two); masticatory margin of mandible with 11–14 denticles (vs. less than 10 denticles in latter two); SI 153–161 (vs. SI 131–150 inlatter two); median part of vertex along median furrow faintly striate transversely (vs. smooth and shiny or with rough texture in latter two); colors of head, mesosoma, petiole and gaster darker than in the latter two. Furthermore,  Odontomachus minangkabauis easily distinguished from   O. rixosusby the following characteristics of the male: first gastral tergum in lateral view long (vs. short in the latter); apical lobe of 9th abdominal sternum slightly narrowed in basal half, with apical margin weakly convex (vs. gently tapering to almost truncate apex in the latter); telomeral apex in lateral view much longer than high (vs. longer than high in the latter); ventral margin of valviceps with 28−29 denticles (vs. 21−22 denticles in the latter); head, pronotum, mesoscutum and mesopleuron pale yellowish (vs. yellowish to yellowish brown in the latter).   Etymology.The specific epithet is named after the Minangkabauethnic group indigenous to West Sumatra, Indonesia( typelocality of this species).   Distribution.Sumatra Island, Indonesia.  Bionomics.  Odontomachus minangkabauinhabits secondary and primary lowland forests, and nests in the soil near the base of living trees.  DNA barcoding.The average K2P distance between   O. minangkabauand two closely related species,   O. rixosusand   O. pararixosus, are 8.48% (SE=0.013) and 6.59% (SE=0.012), respectively. These values are a little higher than the average K2P distance between   O. rixosusand   O. pararixosus(5.48%, SE=0.010). The results support the species-level delimitation among   O. minangkabau,   O. rixosusand   O. pararixosus. Materials of   O. pararixosusused for DNA barcoding are as follows: colony MS14-18 (individual no. RJ20150126-5, accession no. LC056045).
