However, even though the country possesses such rich biota, many taxa still remain to be discovered and formally described. In this study we review the myrmicine ant genus Lordomyrma Emery, 1897 from China. We recognize four species for the country, of which we describe two as new: L. bhutanensis (Baroni Urbani, 1977), L. idianale Taylor, 2012, L. jingpo sp. nov., and L. nima sp. nov. In addition, we propose L. sinensis (Ma et al., 2007) syn. nov. as a junior synonym of L. bhutanensis. These nomenclatorial acts raise the global count for the genus to 35 species. Both new species, Lordomyrma jingpo sp. nov. and Lordomyrma nima sp. nov. as well as the queen of L. bhutanensis, which is described for the first time, were collected in Southwestern China. Furthermore, in order to facilitate identification within the genus, we provide an updated key to known species of Lordomyrma in the world.}, title = {Taxonomic review of the ant genus Lordomyrma Emery, 1897 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from China, with description of two new species and an identification key to the known species of the world}, volume = {14}, year = {2021} }
