Smicromyrme spinicauda Chen, 1957:210 , ♀. Type locality:“Tienmushan

[= Mt. Tianmu-shan ]” (Zhejiang, China). Holotype: ♀ ( TARI), examined .; LELEJ (2005: 64).

Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: ♀ ( Figs 30–32 View Figs 30–32 ), Mt.Tianmu-shan , W. Zhejiang, China, 17.viii.1936, T. C. Maa leg. ( TARI).

Diagnosis. Female. This species is similar to Si. belokobylskiji Lelej, 1995 , Si. calopoda Okayasu, 2017 , Si. lambirensis Lelej, 1996 , Si. ohbayashii Okayasu, 2017 , and Si. petina ( Mickel, 1937) in having the diagnostic characters of group 2 ( OKAYASU 2017; T2 with a basal median pale spot of setae and black integument), but differs in the following combination of characters: mesosoma weakly convergent posteriorly (subparallel in Si. belokobylskiji , Si. calopoda , Si. lambirensis , Si. ohbayashii , and Si. petina ); scutellar scale narrow and trilobed (not trilobed in others), median lobe posteriorly turning into median longitudinal carina extending through propodeal face (not turning into carina in Si. ohbayashii ; unknown in Si. petina ), dorsal edge of postscutellar carina strongly undulating (very weakly undulating in Si. belokobylskiji , Si. calopoda , and Si. lambirensis ); legs entirely yellowish red (black and yellowish red in Si. calopoda ); T2 with apical narrow band of dense, appressed golden setae, slightly narrowed medially (slightly widened in others); S2–S3 with apical narrow band of dense, appressed golden setae (metasomal sterna without such bands in Si. petina ); T2 and S2 polished and strongly shining between punctures (micro-punctate and dimly shining in Si. calopoda ).
