Online Catalogue of the Ants of the World

This is just a placeholder bit of text, for now, that I copied from the GAP website page about the catalogue. I added this thinking it would get rid of the error message (ERROR in secure-include.php: Not allowed to include remote URLs, or inexistant path.) that was showing up with the Nomenclature template on all the named pages. It did not solve that problem

Obviously this page, and how we are going to present the catalogue information, is something we need to work out before we launch.

Barry Bolton's Synopsis of the Formicidae and Catalogue of Ants of the World

Barry Bolton’s 1995 A New General Catalogue of the Ants of the World. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press is a compendium of all taxonomic decisions for ants worldwide, including extinct as well as extant taxa. This work was complemented in 2003 when Barry Bolton published Synopsis and Classification of Formicidae. 370 pp. Memoirs of the American Entomological Institute, Vol. 71. Gainesville, FL. A CD ROM database version of the Catalogue was published in 2007covering the period from 1758-2005. Barry Bolton has continued to revise both the Synopsis and the Catalogue and will post an updated text version every six months on this web site.
