Remarks.

The three specimens of Aenictus thailandianus from Leigong Moutain, Guizhou Province, agree well with the original description of Terayama and Kubota (1993, therein figs 11-13) and the additional descriptions and illustrations of Jaitrong and Yamane (2013, therein fig. 17 A–D). This is the so far northernmost record of Aenictus thailandianus , which has in China only been recorded from Yunnan ( Liu et al. 2015a).
