( Fig. 91 View FIGURES 90–91 )

Andreimyrme paniya Terine, Lelej & Girish Kumar, 2021: 185 View Cited Treatment , ♀, holotype ♀ ( Periya , Wayanad District, Kerala, India) [ZSIK], examined.

Diagnosis. FEMALE. Head ventrally dark red; frons and vertex punctures large dense; gena punctures large confluent; vertex without medial longitudinal 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 black. Mesosoma dark red with large black spot on posterior propodeal face; dorsal thoracic length 0.94× mesosomal width; humeral carina lamellately projecting; posterior propodeal face without medial longitudinal carina. Legs yellowish red with femoral apices, tibiae, and tarsi black. Metasoma dark red; T2 length 1.05× width; T2 disc flattened medially, without anteromedial pale spot; T2 punctures small confluent; T2 posterior band narrow, white, medially interrupted; T3 with black setae; S2 punctures large sparse; surface of pygidial plate smooth; lateral margins of pygidial plate slightly convergent anteriorly, carinate on posterior half. MALE. Unknown.

Material examined. Holotype ♀: India: KERALA: Wayanad district, Periya, Camp shed, 11°51′5.06″N 75°47′22.55″E, 594 m, 10.II.2021, K.A. Subramanian & party, ZSI/WGRC/IR/INV. 17336 [ ZSIK]. GoogleMaps

Distribution. India: Kerala.

Remarks. This species is recognized in Andreimyrme by having the head ventrally and metasoma reddish, the posterior propodeal face with black spot, and the T2 posterior band medially interrupted. Although we added nine East Asian species to Andreimyrme based on females, A. paniya is still the sole member with the mesosoma and metasoma reddish, providing additional support to recognition of a color syndrome for A. paniya and similarly colored mutillids discovered in India ( Lelej 2020; Terine et al. 2021).
