Aenictus gutianshanensis (named after the type locality) is a Chinese species of army ant in the genus Aenictus.
Distribution
The species is known only from a single colony collected in the subtropical mixed evergreen broad-leaved forest of the Gutianshan National Nature Reserve, South-East China. [1]
Biology
No direct biological information is available. The type series was collected in a single pitfall trap in a secondary mixed evergreen broad-leaved forest. Thus, the species probably lives and forages on and in the leaf-litter preying on small ants of the subfamily Formicinae, as it has been previously reported for species in the Aenictus wroughtonii group. Possible prey species of the genera Prenolepis and Nylanderia are common at the type locality.[1]
Description
Aenictus gutianshanensis can be easily distinguished from all other species of the Aenictus wroughtonii group by the pronotum, the petiole, and the side of the postpetiole completely finely reticulate. The species is most similar to Aenictus vieti and to Aenictus camposi, but is slightly larger in all measurements. Males of Aenictus gutianshanensis and many other Aenictus species are unknown.[1]
