Abstract

Seven species of the ant genus Parasyscia Emery, 1882 in the subfamily Dorylinae are recognized in China, including one known species, P. reticulata (Emery, 1923), and five new species: P. wilsoni sp. nov., P. nigrita sp. nov., P. tibetana sp. nov., P. shii sp. nov., P. xui sp. nov. and one new record species, P. ganeshaiahi Aswaj et al, 2021. The worker caste of P. reticulata is reported for the first time. The species P. fossulata (Forel, 1895) is excluded from the ant fauna of China. A revised key for the Asian species of Parasyscia based on the worker caste is provided.
