The following genera, species and subspecies are known to occur in Haiti. Haiti and the Dominican Republic make up the island of Hispaniola. Unidentified and undescribed species will be added to this list as identifications are verified and taxonomic revisions are published. This species list is based upon the effort of many ant collectors as well as myrmecologists who have published on the taxonomy of Haitian ants. Those who have specimen records that expand this list are encouraged to submit this information in the discussion section of the Haitian Ants web page.

You can find more information about the ants of Hispaniola at this project page: Haiti project page.
