The species list of the ant genus Myrmoteras Forel, 1893 from Sumatra, Indonesia was updated with a total of six species. We described and illustrated Myrmoteras yamanei sp.n. based on the worker caste from the highland of Sumatra, reported M. tonboli Agosti, 1992 as newly recorded from Sumatra and illustrated, and described the hitherto unknown queens of M. baslerorum Agosti, 1992 and M. tonboli Agosti, 1992. The worker-based key to Sumatran species of the genus Myrmoteras is also provided. © INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY, 2024.
