Genus Smicromyrme Thomson, 1870

DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION. Two hundred and seventy-two species are recognized from the Palaearctic (113), Afrotropical (90) and Oriental (70) regions ( Lelej & Williams, 2023), but two species have been described in males from Wallacea (Sulawesi) : S. electra Mickel, 1935 and S. minahassae ( Zavattari, 1914) . According to B. Petersen's identification label attached to the male holotype of S. electra Mickel, 1935 ( Brothers, 2022), this species is a junior subjective synonym of S. minahassae ( Zavattari, 1914) . An unusual new female species (T2 without basal medial setal spot) is found in Lombok.
