Remarks.

The three specimens of Aenictus watanasiti from Leigong Moutain, Guizhou Province, agree very well with the original description and the illustrations of Jaitrong and Yamane (2013, therein fig. 18 A–D). This is the so far northernmost record of Aenictus watanasiti and the first record from China.
