Discovery of two new species of Paraparatrechina Donisthorpe, 1947 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from India

Key Points

Two new species of ants were discovered in the genus Paraparatrechina, expanding the knowledge of Hymenoptera diversity.
Morphological analysis revealed previously undocumented pinnate setae as a new feature in these species.
Observational study of the species was conducted in India, contributing to the taxonomy of Formicidae.
Understanding these species' morphological traits may aid in further classification and ecological studies.

Abstract

Two new species, Paraparatrechina sohryngkham Saroj & Mandi sp. nov. and Paraparatrechina ali Saroj & Mandi sp. nov. are described here from India and a new morphological trait is revealed from the genus Paraparatrechina. The pinnate setae observed in these species is previously undocumented, thereby introducing a novel feature to the morphology of genus Paraparatrechina.
