Discussion
Remarks: Polyrhachis jerdoniiHNS is known only from a few isolated collections from Sri Lanka. It is most similar to P. thailandicaHNS sp. n., described below. Both have a laterally marginate mesosoma and a weakly indicated meta-notal groove. They differ in the general sculpturation of the body that, in P. jerdoniiHNS, is very finely reticulate-punctate, while it is distinctly more coarsely sculptured in P. thailandicaHNS sp. n.
