Abstract:

A new species, Podomyrma longicep!zala, from West Sumatra, Indonesia, is described and illustrated based on the worker. It is distinguished from the known species of the genus by the 12-segmented antennae, extremely long head, angulated pronotal humeri, and rounded postero-lateral corners of propodeum. This is the first record of Podomyrma from Sumatra.
