The species had not previously been recorded from Arunachal Pradesh. During fieldwork on 3 March 2025, it was recorded from Budhisatta, near the Deban Range of the Namdapha Tiger Reserve, Changlang district, Arunachal Pradesh, representing a new state record and extending its known distribution in northeastern India. This finding adds to the documented ant fauna of the region and highlights the importance of continued myrmecological surveys in underexplored areas of Northeast India.</p> Srinjoy Das Copyright (c) 2026 Srinjoy Das https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-04-01 2026-04-01 6 2 01 03 10.64171/JAE.6.2.1-3
