            <p>Recognition.</p>
            <p> Parasyscia ganeshaiahi sp. nov. is similar to the Palearctic  P. piochardi Emery, 1882 in general appearance and 11-segmented antennae.  Parasyscia piochardi is known from Israel, Lebanon, Syrian Arab Republic and Turkey (AntWeb 2021; Bolton 2021).  Parasyscia ganeshaiahi is distinguished from  P. piochardi by the following characteristics: 1) head in full-face view, rectangular with weakly convex lateral sides in  P. ganeshaiahi (head nearly oval shaped with strongly convex lateral sides in  P. piochardi ); 2) strong sculpturing with relatively larger foveolae in  P. ganeshaiahi (weakly sculptured with shallow, small foveolae in  P. piochardi ); 3) head in full-face view, fovea larger in size and comparatively closely spaced in  P. ganeshaiahi (fovea smaller with distinct unsculptured area present in  P. piochardi ); 4) frontal carinae united posteriorly and extended behind in  P. ganeshaiahi (frontal carinae not united and extended behind in  P. piochardi ); 5) mesosoma in dorsal view, with nearly straight lateral margins in  P. ganeshaiahi (mesosoma in dorsal view, medially concave in  P. piochardi ); 6) petiole in profile view, with straight anterior slope in  P. ganeshaiahi (weakly convex anterior margin in  P. piochardi ); 7) anterior margin of petiole in dorsal view, with a distinct carina in  P. ganeshaiahi (carina absent in  P. piochardi ); 8)  P. ganeshaiahi is a smaller species, HW 0.46, TL 2.82 in (  P. piochardi is larger, HW 0.53, TL 3.40); 9)  P. ganeshaiahi has comparatively bigger eyes in relation to head width, EI 11 (  P. piochardi has smaller eyes in relation to the head width, EI 6). </p>
            <p>Habitat.</p>
            <p> The type specimen was collected from the Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary at an elevation of 1400 m above sea level. The collection site has a canopy cover of about 90% with low light penetration. The soil had a pH of 6.83 and temperature 17°C at the time of collection. A single worker specimen was collected using a Winkler extractor from sifted leaf litter taken from 1 m2, which accounted for 760 ml of leaf litter. We captured three additional ant genera (  Aphaenogaster ,  Carebara and  Paratrechina ) in the same trap. </p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Indomalaya: India (Arunachal Pradesh).</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>With 2021 being the 25th anniversary of ATREE, this species is a Latin noun in the genitive case named in honour of one of its founders, Prof. K. N. Ganeshaiah, eminent ecologist and writer, who was instrumental in establishing Insect Taxonomy and Conservation Laboratory in ATREE.</p>

            <p>Recognition.</p>
            <p> Syscia indica sp. nov. is similar to  S. chaladthanyakiji in general appearance and 11-segmented antennae. However,  S. indica can be separated from  S. chaladthanyakiji by the following characteristics: 1) weak sculpture with relatively small and closely-spaced foveolae in  S. indica (stronger sculpturing with well-defined macropunctures in  S. chaladthanyakiji ); 2) abdominal segment IV (first gastral tergite) with large number of closely-spaced foveolae in  S. indica (first gastral tergite with lesser number of relatively widely spaced foveolae in  S. chaladthanyakiji ); 3) remaining gastral segments with feeble foveolae in  S. indica (remaining gastral segments anteriorly with an unscupltured area in  S. chaladthanyakiji ); 4) head in full-face view oval shaped with convex lateral sides and moderately concave posterior margin in  S. indica (head in full-face view rectangular, almost parallel sides, posterior margin weakly concave in  S. chaladthanyakiji ); 5) CI 74, SI 50 in  S. indica (CI 80-84, SI 56-63 in  S. chaladthanyakiji ).  Syscia indica sp. nov. is also similar to the Sri Lankan and Chinese  S. typhla in general appearance. However, the new species can be easily separated from  S. typhla by the 1) presence of 11-segmented antennae (9-segmented in  S. typhla ); 2) foveolae on cephalic dorsum smaller in diameter and closely spaced in  S. indica (foveolae comparatively larger in diameter and widely spaced in  S. typhla ); 3) posterior cephalic margin nearly transverse in  S. Indica (posterior cephalic margin strongly concave in  S. typhla ); 4) base of cinctus of first gastral tergite with cross ribs in  S. indica (base of cinctus of first gastral tergite without cross ribs in  S. typhla ). </p>
            <p>Habitat.</p>
            <p> The holotype was collected from the Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary at an elevation of 1600 m above sea level. The region has a canopy cover of about 85% and no indications of anthropogenic disturbances. The soil had a pH of 6.85 and temperature 16°C at the time of collection. The specimen was collected using a Winkler extractor from sifted leaf litter of 1 m2. We were able to capture one additional ant genus  Carebara in the same trap, which consisted of 295 ml leaf litter. </p>

            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The specific epithet  Syscia indica is a Latin singular feminine adjective in the nominative case and refers to the country where the species was collected. </p>
