A new version, reason:

"NOTE: Update Sept 23, 2025: In a previous version, a male description presented as a male of Polyrhachis zhoui was also included, however, this specimen appeared to belong to a different species and has thus since been removed from this updated version. The authors are sorry for this regrettable mistake and apologize for the inconvenience caused."
