Haidomyrmex cerberus was described from a single partial worker specimen, providing the basis for what are now tribal synapomorphies for the Haidomyrmecini , established by Bolton (2003) and revised by Perrichot et al. (2016) : unusual L-shaped mandibles and a bulging clypeus possessing a clypeal brush comprising dense, stout setae. Locality: Burmese amber, ~ 98.8 Ma, Kachin State, Myanmar ( Shi et al. , 2012 )
