The family Scelembiidae (Neoembiodea: Embiomorpha: Archembioidea) is recorded from Asia for the first time, based on two individuals preserved in Early Eocene amber from the Cambay Basin, western India. Kumarembia hurleyi Engel & Grimaldi, gen. n. et sp. n., is described, figured, and distinguished from other archembioid genera. The genus shares male genitalic features with scelembiids, otherwise known from South America and Africa.
基于保存在印度西部坎贝湾盆地始新世早期琥珀中的两个个体,Scelembiidae科(新丝蚁亚目:丝蚁总科:古丝蚁超科)首次在亚洲被记录。描述并图示了新属新种库马雷丝蚁Kumarembia hurleyi Engel & Grimaldi,并将其与其他古丝蚁超科的属区分开来。该属与丝蚁科在雄性生殖器特征上有共同之处,丝蚁科在南美洲和非洲也有发现。
