Род Temnothorax ранее был представлен в Непале только одним видом (Temnothorax wroughtonii), теперь это число увеличилось до четырёх таксонов.
Из Непала описаны три новых вида муравьёв рода Temnothorax: Temnothorax buddha (по рабочим и самкам из леса Нагарджун, рядом с монастырем Джамачо, Национальный парк Шивапури-Нагарджун; название вида дано в честь Будды, чьё место рождения по легенде приписывается Непалу), Temnothorax kathmanduensis (по рабочим и самкам из Kirtipur) и Temnothorax pathibharaensis (по рабочим из Taplejung). Дана определительная таблица всех известных непальских видов рода по рабочим.
Temnothorax buddha Subedi, Budha et Yusupov, sp. n.
Вид Temnothorax buddha sp. n. может быть спутан с Гималайсиким видами, например, такими как T. microreticulatus Bharti et al., 2012, T. pamiricus (Ruzsky, 1902), T. pakistanensis Rasheed et al., 2020, и T. himachalensis Bharti et al., 2012, которые также имеют одноцветную желтоватую окраску тела. Но от первого вида T. buddha sp. n. отличается следующими признаками: a more strongly sculptured and longer head (CI 1.26 vs max 1.17) and mesosoma, thinner propodeal spines, much rounded petiole node, shorter and broader petiolar peduncle and massive postpetiole. The new species differs from T. pamiricus and T. himachalensis in much longer propodeal spines, developed strong sculpture, petiole shape, etc. T. buddha sp. n. differs from T. pakistanensis in shorter head (CI 1.26 vs min 1.26 and max 1.32) and scape (SI1 0.65 vs min 0.72), absence of deep metanotal groove, longer propodeal spines, shape of petiole, and coarser sculpture of body.
Temnothorax kathmanduensis Subedi et al., sp. n.
Вид Temnothorax kathmanduensis sp. n. очень сходен с Temnothorax wroughtonii, но отличается о последнего следующими признаками: dentate propodeum, distinctly sculptured head and mesosoma. The new species is also comparable with T. inermis (Forel, 1902), but differ from the later in having dentate propodeum, differently sculptured head and mesosoma, shallow pronoto-mesonotal suture, and shape of the petiolar node.
Temnothorax pathibharaensis Subedi et al., sp. n.
Вид Temnothorax pathibharaensis sp. n. сходен с видамми T. rothneyi (Forel, 1902) и T. simlensis (Forel, 1904). Однако, он отличается от обоих видов следующими признаками: a much longer scape, which reaches (or even slightly exceeds) the occipital margin of the head, while in T. rothneyi and T. simlensis the scape does not reach the occipital margin of the head. In addition, T. pathibharaensis sp. nov. is also distinguished by its longer and lower petiole and the shape of the propodeal spines etc.
