摘要：
Myrmoteras scabrum Moffett, 1985 is located again in Western Ghats. The species was described based upon a single specimen collected from Cannanore District of Western Ghats by Moffett (Bull Mus Comp Zool 151(1):1-53, 1985) Only the second known specimen of this species from Thanikuddy region of Periyar Tiger reserve is discovered here. Auto-montage images of the species are provided herewith along with notes on its biology.
