The following valid species and subspecies of ants are known to occur in Russian Federation. 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 Russian Federation ants. Those who have specimen records that expand this list are encouraged to submit this information in the discussion section of the Russian Federation Ants web page. Please advise if any corrections are warranted.

Regions

Russian Federation's territory is very vast and it have quite different biotopes in terrain that extends across 12 time zones and from the tundra region in the far north to the Caucasus Mountains and prairies (steppe) in the south. Subregion-based ants distribution can show real image of ants' areals much more precisely, as myrmecofauna for example Caucasis and Yakutia is quite different.
