Abstract

ABSTRACT Taxonomic studies were carried out on the ant genus Lepisiota Santschi, 1926 in India, with the description of four new species, L. binghami sp. nov., L. pusaensis sp. nov., L. satpuraensis sp. nov., and L. wilsoni sp. nov., based on the worker caste. Redescription and new distribution records of five known species, L. annandalei (Mukerjee, 1930), L. bipartita (Smith, 1861), L. integra (Forel, 1894), L. layla Wachkoo, Bharti & Akbar, 2021, and L. pulchella (Forel, 1892), are provided. An identification key to the seventeen Indian species of Lepisiota based on the worker caste is presented. The male genitalia of L. bipartita are described in detail with the illustration of different morphological details. In addition, the DNA barcode of L. annandalei, L. bipartita, L. pulchella, and L. pusaensis sp. nov. is generated.

期刊介绍： Oriental Insects is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of original research articles and reviews on the taxonomy, ecology, biodiversity and evolution of insects and other land arthropods of the Old World and Australia. Manuscripts referring to Africa, Australia and Oceania are highly welcomed. Research papers covering the study of behaviour, conservation, forensic and medical entomology, urban entomology and pest control are encouraged, provided that the research has relevance to Old World or Australian entomofauna. Precedence will be given to more general manuscripts (e.g. revisions of higher taxa, papers with combined methodologies or referring to larger geographic units). Descriptive manuscripts should refer to more than a single species and contain more general results or discussion (e.g. determination keys, biological or ecological data etc.). Laboratory works without zoogeographic or taxonomic reference to the scope of the journal will not be accepted.
