Among them, five species are recognized, including two newly described species, Carebara adisaki Wimolsuthikul & Jaitrong, sp. nov., and Carebara parvar Wimolsuthikul & Jaitrong, sp. nov., both of which are illustrated based on major and minor workers. In addition, Carebara bokorensis Matsuura & Hosoishi, 2024 is reported in Thailand for the first time. The study also describes a dealate queen of C. pygmaea and an ergatoid queen of C. bokorensis for the first time.
