Ten species are recognized of

which three are new to science: one species belongs to the subgenus Acropyga, six species to Rhizomyrma, and three

species to Atopodon. Acropyga (Rhizomyrma) guangxiensis sp. nov. is characterized by the mandible with four teeth, the

distinctly incised metanotal dorsum, and the small eye consisting of single facet. Acropyga (Rhizomyrma) septemstruma

sp. nov. is characterized by the antenna with seven articles, the absence of eyes, and the small body size (total length

1.3 mm). Acropyga (Rhizomyrma) yunnanensis sp. nov. most resembles A. guangxiensis sp. nov., but is separated from

the latter by the very weakly incised metanotal dorsum and the eye consisting of four facets. Acropyga acutiventris

ROGER is recorded from China for the first time. A key to the East Asian species is presented.}, keywords = {Agropyga, East Asian, Formicinae}, author = {Terayama, M. and Fellowes, J. R. and Zhou, S.} }
