Andreimyrme sarawakensis Lelej, 1996a: 100 , ♀, holotype ♀ (Tower Region, Lambir National Park, Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia) [SKYC]; Lelej 2005: 38; Lo Cascio 2015: 544; Okayasu et al. 2018: 303, ♀; Okayasu 2020: 61, ♀, examined; Pagliano et al. 2020: 169.

Diagnosis. FEMALE. Head black; frons, vertex, and gena punctures small sparse; vertex without medial carina; clypeus with medial 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 brown to black. Mesosoma entirely red; dorsal thoracic length 0.90–0.95× mesosomal width; humeral carina lamellately projecting; posterior propodeal face without medial carina. Legs yellowish red with tibiae and tarsi brown to black. Metasoma with bluish metallic luster; T2 length 0.94–1.0× width; T2 disc flattened medially, without anteromedial pale spot; T2 punctures small sparse; T2 posterior band wide, pale golden, complete; T3 with black setae; S1 reddish; S2 punctures small sparse; surface of pygidial plate obscurely longitudinally coarsely rugose anteriorly and smooth posteriorly; lateral margins of pygidial plate subparallel, carinate throughout. MALE. Unknown.

Material examined. 3♀. Malaysia : KUALA LUMPUR: near Lake Gardens , H.M. Pendlebury leg., Promecilla neaera (Mickel) , B. Petersen det. [1♀ ZMUC]; SABAH: 17 km west from Sandakan, Spilog, 200 m, 28.XI.1978, S. Nagai leg. [1♀ EUM]; SARAWAK: Kuching, K. Astana, 1–2, IX-8-’66 [1♀ HUM] .

Distribution. Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur, Sabah *, Sarawak.

Remarks. This species is recognized in Andreimyrme by having the frons, vertex and gena with small sparse punctures (with large, dense to confluent punctures in others). This species was originally described based on a single specimen from Sarawak. In this study, we examined three additional specimens from Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, and Sarawak, and minor color variation was recognized: frons, vertex, and gena with golden to black setae; gena and clypeus dark brown; scape orange to black; protibia orange to black; T2 posterior margin dark brown to black with bluish metallic luster; T3–5 with brown to black recumbent setae; metasomal sterna reddish brown to black.
