Anomalomyrma

There are three species in this tropical Oriental genus. Workers are known for only two species and are exceedingly rare.

Identification
Borowiec et al. (2011): Anomalomyrma is similar to Protanilla, with differentiating characters as follows: * The cuticular teeth have so far been observed only in the “Anomalomyrma” species from Japan.

** Judging from description and figures in Xu & Zhang (2002), P. furcomandibula has the promesonotal region slightly more bulky and convex, the lateral surface of mandible has a more visible groove, and exceptionally abdominal segment III (postpetiole) is more broadly attached to the segment IV (first gastral), which makes this species partially intermediate between Anomalomyrma and hitherto known Protanilla species.

Biology
Species in this genus are found in leaf litter in the Old World tropics.

Castes
Males of this genus are unknown.
