Type species Andreimyrme long Lelej, 1995b, ♁, by original designation.

Dignosis. MALE. Clypeus deeply concave. Mandible robust, widened apically, tridentate at apex with additional large inner tooth; ventral margin not emarginate basally. Scape bicarinate ventrally; F1 0.7 × as long as wide. Notaulus complete, reaching anterior margin of mesoscutum; parapsidal signum scarcely visible; mesoscutellum punctate; mesopleuron anteriorly with medial deep glabrous depression, without or with precoxal denticle. S2 without basomedial carina and without lateral felt line (except A. davidi (André, 1898) with trace of felt line); S8 (hypopygium) without tubercle or carina; genital volsella wide, without basal external lobe, with long setae on inner and ventral margins. FEMALE. Genal carina distinct, forming sharp hypostomal tooth; clypeus with subventral transverse ridge; mandible slender tridentate, wide tridentate, or broadly expanded; prementum armed with posterior rounded tubercle. Mesosomal lateral margins subparallel or convergent posteriorly; prescutellar scales absent; scutellar scale obliterated; metanotal-propodeal suture obliterated. Protarsus with external comb of long spines. T2 with posterior band of pale setae; pygidial plate subconvex with lateral margins defined by weak carinae, subparallel or slightly convergent anteriorly; surface of pygidial plate smooth or longitudinally rugose.

Diversity and distribution. Twenty species (one with two subspecies); 15 from females only, five from males only. Predominantly from the Oriental Region but two species penetrate to the Palaearctic part of China and A. pakistanensis Lelej & Ullah in Lelej et al. 2007 is known from Pakistan (Okayasu et al. 2021).

Remarks. Females of this genus were recently keyed and reviewed (Okayasu et al. 2021); most species (15/20) are known from females only.
