Identification
Temnothorax khatrii is close to Temnothorax fultonii, but it well differs from the latter by the shorter head (CI 1.12–1.15 vs 1.20–1.39), as well as by the mesosomal sculpture, which is mostly smooth and shiny with sparse longitudinal rugae in T. khatrii, whereas rugosity is more pronounced in T. fultonii. From all other Himalayan species of Temnothorax with a deep metanotal groove, T. khatrii differs by the smooth and shiny mesosoma and waist.
