The following valid species and subspecies of ants are known to occur in Niger. Unidentified and undescribed species will be added to this list as identifications are verified and taxonomic revisions are published.

Those who have specimen records that expand this list are encouraged to submit this information in the discussion section of the Niger Ants web page. Please advise if any corrections are warranted.
