Abstract

A new species of the genus Colobopsis Mayr, 1861, C. kapilashi sp. nov. is described and illustrated from the eastern region of India based on the worker caste. The new species shows similarities with C. rothneyi (Forel 1893) and can be differentiated by the following combination of characteristics: head broad with truncated portion form circular margined rim anteriorly, clypeus narrow, triangular and extending to the circular margin, tibiae of legs cylindrical, petiole node tapering toward tip, anteriorly convex and flat posteriorly. An illustrative key for the identification of known species is also provided.
