Aenictus kodaguensis sp. nov., a new species belonging to the Aenictus pachycerus species group, is described from India based on the worker caste. This species is morphologically most similar to A. paradentatus Jaitrong & Yamane, 2012. However, it is distinguishable by the presence of a distinct transverse carina along the lateral mesosoma and a comparatively shorter scape, among other discernible characteristics.
