03DE566CE450D500FF0CF9F2FD17FCFC.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name paniya is derived from the name of an indigenous tribe present in Wayanad and other parts of the Western Ghats. The term Paniya means ‘ someone who does work’, which described their social standing, as a community who does work for their landlords. Paniyas were agrestic slaves who worked in the agricultural field of the janmis (jenmis) or landlords. This new species is named after the ‘ paniya’ to honour this indigenous tribal community of the Western Ghats and to speak against the caste system that prevailed in the past. Treat as a noun in apposition.	en	Terine, Joshua B., Lelej, Arkady S., Kumar, Girish P.

03DE566CE450D500FF0CF9F2FD17FCFC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species Andreimyrme paniya is similar to A. sarawakensis Lelej, 1996 and A. neaera (Mickel, 1935) but differs from both by having the head mostly ferruginous-red (entirely black in both), the metasoma reddish-brown (dark metallic blue in both). The new species differs from A. sarawakensis by having T 2 posterior margin with the narrow band of white setae interrupted medially (with broad, medially slightly widened band of appressed yellowish setae in A. sarawakensis), and the pygidial plate smooth with lateral carinae (anterior half of pygidial plate obscurely and longitudinally rugose and posterior half smooth in A. sarawakensis). Andreimyrme paniya differs from A. neaera by having T 2 without setal spots, posteriorly with narrow band of white setae interrupted medially (with antero-medial small spot of pale setae and posteriorly with wide complete band of yellowish setae in A. neaera), and the T 6 with pygidial plate smooth (pygidial area smooth, anterior half weakly, obscurely, longitudinally rugose in A. neaera).	en	Terine, Joshua B., Lelej, Arkady S., Kumar, Girish P.
