Carebara Westwood (1840) is a species rich genus in subfamily Myrmicinae. Many
species of this genus are reported from various parts of the world including neighbouring
countries of Pakistan. Members of this genus are considered as generalized foragers and cryptic

by Bharti and Akbar (2014). Herein we report one species of this genus C. raja (Forel, 1902)
based on queen for the first time from Himalayan Foothills of Pakistan. Differential diagnosis,
morphometric and illustrations are provided with notes on distributional range.
