A unique ant-mimicking behaviour has been observed in the rove beetle genus Naddia sp. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae: Staphylinini: Staphylinina) from the campus of the University of Kalyani, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, India. The individual has been observed to undergo imperfect Batesian mimicry by mimicking ants of the genus Pseudoneoponera (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Ponerinae: Ponerini).
在印度西孟加拉邦卡利扬尼大学校园的掠食甲科隐翅甲族纳迪亚属(Naddia sp.)(鞘翅目:隐翅甲科:隐翅甲亚科:隐翅甲族:隐翅甲亚族)中观察到一种独特的拟蚁行为。个体通过模拟伪新切叶蚁属(膜翅目:蚁科:切叶蚁亚科:切叶蚁族)的蚂蚁来进行不完全的贝氏拟态。
