Abstract

[Echinopla Cherapunjiensis] sp. n. (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from India

[Echinopla cherapunjiensis] Bharti et Gul, sp. n. is described from India. This represents the second species of genus reported in India, with only [Echinopla lineata senilis] Mayr, 1862 described earlier from Nicobar Islands. The species distinctly differs from all other known species of this genus by the following combination of characters: globose shape of head, presence of seven teeth on petiolar scale, flat dorsum of mesosoma with promesonotal and mesometanotal sutures obsolete, whole body surface (dorsum) rough due to sinuous sculpture, deep excavations and spiky elevations on head and mesosoma and excavations on gaster.
