Myrmica radchenkoi, a New Species of Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Indian Himalaya

摘要

Myrmica radchenkoi sp. nov. is reported from Indian Himalaya with discovery of workers and queen. This new species reinforces the placement of its close ally, earlier reported Myrmica rigatoi Radchenko and Elmes, 1998 in the inezae species group, where it has been provisionally placed so far. The queen in Myrmica radchenkoi sp. nov. which is described herewith also shows some close proximity with already described queen of Myrmica inezae.
