Ants of the genus Aenictus are recorded from Laos for the first time. Here, we report six species including a new species and a new status: Aenictus binghami Forel, A. cf. dentatus Forel, A. doydeei Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. cf. fuchuanensis Zhou, A. hodgsoni Forel, stat. nov., and A. nishimurai Terayama et Kubota. A. doydeei sp. nov. is very probably a nocturnal species.

Twelve species groups are established in the ant genus Aenictus of the eastern part of Oriental region, and Indo-Australian and Australasian regions, and the species of the Aenictus currax group and A. laeviceps group are revised. Nine species (six named and three new species) of the A. currax group occurring in this area are: A. cornutus Forel, A. currax Emery, A. diclops Shattuck, A. glabrinotum Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. gracilis Emery, A. huonicus Wilson, A. parahuonicus Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov. , A. pfeifferi Zettel et Sorger, and A. wayani Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov. Thirteen species (six named and seven new species) are recognized in the A. laeviceps group: A. alticola Wheeler et Chapman, A. binghami Forel, A. bodongjaya Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. breviceps Forel, stat. nov., A. brevinodus Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. fulvus Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. hodgsoni Forel, A. laeviceps (F. Smith), A. luzoni Wheeler et Chapman, A. montivagus Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. rotundicollis Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. siamensis Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., and A . sonchaengi Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov. A. fergusoni var. breviceps Forel is removed from synonymy with A. laeviceps and raised to full species. Lectotypes and paralectotyps are designated for A. alticola, A. binghami, A. breviceps, A. cornutus, A. currax , A. gracilis, A. laeviceps, and A. luzoni.

The  Aenictus wroughtonii species group is established to include seven species (five named andtwo new species) occurring the Oriental and Indo-Australian regions: A.artipus WILSON, A.biroi ​FOREL, A.camposi WHEELER et CHAPMAN, A. sagei FOREL, A. stenocephalus JAITRONG et YAMANES sp. nov.,  A. vieti JAITRONG et YAMANE, sp.nov. and A. wroughtonii FOREL. Three species are restrictedto western part of the Oriental region, i.e, India and Sri Lanka (A.biroi, A. sagei and  A. wroughtonii),  and four are mainly distributed in Southeast Asia (A. artipus, A. camposi, A. stenocephalus sp.nov. and A. vieti sp. nov.). A.artipus is new to Vietnam, and A.camposi is new to Sumatra. Among food source of this species group are small ants of the subfamily Formicinae such as Paratrechina, Prenolepis and Plagiolepis.
