Holotype, 3 “ MALAYSIA: Sarawak, Lambir Hills National Park, 16 V 2004 / ATTM 418 / HOLOTYPE Aenictocleptis lambirensis Maruyama ” (no. 418). Paratypes: 1 3, 1 Ƥ, 1 sex?, same data as holotype (no. 418). See, Table 1 View TABLE 1 for detailed collecting data.
Symbiotic host. Morphotype S of Aenictus laeviceps .
Distribution. Malaysia (Borneo).
Etymology. Named for the type locality.
Description. Body ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 32 – 37 ) rather robust. Reddish brown, except for mouth parts, legs, lateral margins of pronotum, abdominal segments III–VII other than medial area of tergites paler. Head ( Figs. 35, 36 View FIGURES 32 – 37 ) with temple well developed to eye level. Mandibles rather asymmetric; right mandible gently narrowed and curved apically. Antennae ( Figs. 35, 37 View FIGURES 32 – 37 ) somewhat thick, clavate, reaching around middle of elytra; segment XI longer than IX and X combined: relative lengths of segments IX–XI: 12, 15, 30. Pronotum ( Figs. 35, 36 View FIGURES 32 – 37 ) much wider than long (width/ length=1.19–1.21), sparsely covered with long and stout setae. Elytra ( Figs. 35, 36 View FIGURES 32 – 37 ) densely covered with long and stout setae. Abdominal segments VIII–IX moderately covered with long setae; macrosetae on tergite VIII ( Fig. 43 View FIGURES 43 – 47 ) poorly distinguished from other setae.
Male: Median lobe of aedeagus ( Figs. 44, 45 View FIGURES 43 – 47 ) with apical lobe rhomboidal, minutely bilobed at apex; apical lobe of paramere ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 43 – 47 ) subtriangular.
Female: Spermatheca ( Fig. 47 View FIGURES 43 – 47 ) with basal part bulbous at base, without lateral projection.
Measurements. BL, ≈ 6.0–7.1; FBL, ≈ 2.6–2.9; HW, 1.09–1.15; EL, 0.53–0.58; AL, ≈ 2.4–2.5; PL, 0.89–0.96; PW, 1.13–1.21; ELW, ≈ 1.4–1.5; HTL, 1.25–1.33. N=3.
Diagnosis. This species is easily distinguished from other Aenictocleptis species by the sparse setation on the pronotum and elytra, and the apical lobe of the aedeagal median lobe being rhomboidal.
