Hispaniola



The following 41 genera and 145 valid species and subspecies of ants are known to occur on the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic). 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 Hispaniola ants. Those who have specimen records that expand this list are encouraged to submit this information in the discussion section of the Hispaniola Ants web page.

Hispaniola is one of several islands comprising the Greater Antilles.
