Anomalomyrma

Anomalomyrma is an Asian genus of ants in the subfamily Leptanillinae.[2] The genus was originally described in 1990 with the type species Anomalomyrma taylori, based on a single dealate queen from Borneo.[3] Workers were unknown until 2011, when two new species were described from Peninsular Malaysia and the Philippines.[4]
