Remarks

This species has been redescribed with several detailed illustrations by Yamasaki and Ahmad (2013). The general shape of the chelicerae and palp are very characteristic. The papal tibia with a multi-pronged RTA is diagnostic. I thus consider Myrmarachne hanoii Zabka, 1985 a junior subjective synonym of Myrmarachne pumilio . A description of the female, diagnosis and natural history is given in Yamasaki and Ahmad (2013).
