Smicromyrme (Erimyrme) bidenticulatus: LELEJ (2017: 156) .

Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: ♁ (Figs 1–2), Longtong, Jinan, Shandong, China, 500–700 m, collector unknown (TARI).

Diagnosis. Male. Frons and gena with dense, confluent punctures; vertex elevated posteriorly, with sparser punctures; anterior margin of clypeus medially notched, forming pair of teeth; mandible excised beneath with robust ventral tooth basally; mesosoma black except for pronotum, tegula, scutellum, axilla, metanotum, and mesopleuron dorsally yellowish red; tegula slightly protruding beyond trans-scutal articulation; propodeum reticulate basally with median elongate enclosed cell; metasoma black without bluish metallic luster; T1–T4 and S2–S5 posteriorly fringed with pale golden setae.

Female. See LELEJ (1985).

Distribution. Russia: Primorskiy kray (LELEJ 1977a); Mongolia (LELEJ 1977b); China: Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Jiangsu (LELEJ 1985); South Korea (LELEJ et al. 2001).

Remarks. The paratype could not be found in TARI. This species can be placed in Erimyrme based on the following character states: clypeus concave with a pair of preapical teeth; mandible tridentate with a developed subbasal tooth on the ventral margin. This supports the subgeneric placement by LELEJ (1985). The specific name of this species was originally given as bidenticulata (feminine) and corrected by LELEJ (2017).
