Abstract
Two new species of the army ant genus Aenictus (Shuckard, 1840), Aenictus chittoorensis sp. nov. and Aenictus lankamallensis sp. nov., are described from Andhra Pradesh, India, based on the worker caste. Aenictus chittoorensis sp. nov. belongs to the Aenictus philippinensis group, while A. lankamallensissp. nov. belongs to the Aenictus javanus group. This study provides a detailed discussion of their morphology and the characters differentiating them from their closely related species. An updated identification key for the Oriental A. philippinensis species group is provided.
