Goaligongidris (named after the type locality) is an Asian genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae.[1] It contains the single species Goaligongidris planidorsa, collected in the Gaoligong Mountains, Yunnan Province, China. The genus is known only from workers and nests in the soil and forages on the ground. While similar to the genus Lophomyrmex of the tribe Pheidolini, Goaligongidris is most closely related to the Indo-Australian Lasiomyrma, tribe Stenammini.[2]
