Abstract

Seven species of the ant genus Parasyscia Emery, 1882 in the subfamily Dorylinae are recognized in China, including one known species, P. reticulata (Emery, 1923), and five new species: P. wilsoni sp. nov., P. nigrita sp. nov., P. tibetana sp. nov., P. shii sp. nov., P. xui sp. nov. and one new record species, P. ganeshaiahi Aswaj et al, 2021. The worker caste of P. reticulata is reported for the first time. The species P. fossulata (Forel, 1895) is excluded from the ant fauna of China. A revised key for the Asian species of Parasyscia based on the worker caste is provided.

摘要

在中国，已确认有 7 种隶属于弓背蚁亚科的拟猎蛛蚁属物种，包括已知的 1 种，即网纹拟猎蛛蚁（P. reticulata），以及 5 种新种：威尔逊拟猎蛛蚁（P. wilsoni sp. nov.）、黑拟猎蛛蚁（P. nigrita sp. nov.）、西藏拟猎蛛蚁（P. tibetana sp. nov.）、希氏拟猎蛛蚁（P. shii sp. nov.）、许氏拟猎蛛蚁（P. xui sp. nov.），以及 1 种新记录种，即加内什拟猎蛛蚁（P. ganeshaiahi Aswaj et al., 2021）。这是首次报道网纹拟猎蛛蚁工蚁的形态。同时，斧背弓背蚁（P. fossulata）被排除在中国蚂蚁区系之外。本文提供了基于工蚁的亚洲拟猎蛛蚁属物种修订的检索表。
