[1] The holotype specimen is composed of a mostly complete adult female which has been preserved as an inclusion in transparent chunks of deep yellow and relatively clear Burmese amber.

Burmese amber has been radiometrically dated using U-Pb isotopes, yielding an age of approximately 99 million years old, close to the Albian – Cenomanian boundary.

Due to the incomplete nature of the fossil, the genus has not been assigned to either of the aneuretine tribes, being left incertae sedis.

[5] However, other studies have disputed this claim, finding that again instead it was an ant, but the highly fragmentary remains made its precise position uncertain.

[6][7] The solitary Burmomyrma specimen is incomplete and shows poor preservation in general with the antennae, head, and part of the thorax missing from the edge of the amber.
