First confirmed record of the ant genus Myrmecina (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from the Malay Peninsula: Description of a new species and a key to Myrmecina species from Sundaland

We present the first confirmed record of the little known and uncommon ant genus Myrmecina for the Malay Peninsula. Myrmecina magnificens sp. n., a new species displaying unique anteriorly pointing propodeal spines, is described from specimens of the worker caste collected in a selectively logged primary rainforest in Singapore. We also provide the first key to Myrmecina species of the Sundaland region.
