Aenictus nuchiti

Aenictus nuchiti is a rare species. The type series was collected from a bivouac under a large rotting log in a dry dipterocarp forest, ca 1000 m a.s.l., during the wet season. Numerous immature specimens (all were pupae) were found in the bivouac, and no worker activity was seen around the log. Another colony (NL151015-1) was collected from a leaf litter in a dry dipterocarp forest, ca 350 m a.s.l. This species is sympatric with Aenictus artipus belonging to the same species group in at least the Chiang Mai Province (Wilson 1964; Jaitrong et al. 2010; Jaitrong and Yamane 2011).
