R e m a r k s: Hendel (1910) established a separate genus based on a single autapomorphy which differentiates it from Cephalia : i. e. anal lobe and alula absent; most other characters are similar to Cephalia rufipes . Should Cephalia be found to contain more than one species, Myrmecothea should be considered a derived terminal taxon rather than its sister taxon.
