Aenictus gutianshanensis

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 A. wroughtonii group (Rościszewski and Maschwitz 1994, Jaitrong et al. 2010). Possible prey species of the genera Prenolepis and Nylanderia are common at the type locality (Staab, 2014).
