Philippine Ants

The richness of the Philippine ant fauna has not been well examined. There are many areas that have not been collected from and surveying these areas will yield many new species records.

We currently know that the following 479 valid species and subspecies occur in the Philippines. This species list is based upon the effort of many ant collectors as well as myrmecologists who have published on the taxonomy of Philippine ants. Those who have specimen records that expand this list are encouraged to submit this information in the discussion section of the Philippine Ants web page.
