Formicidae of the United States


This page provides links to checklists of the ant species occurring in some U.S. states.

You can find state specific ant information by clicking on the links directly below, by clicking on the map, or by clicking on the state names on the table below the map. All of the lists maintained on www.antdata.org (some links for a state do not point to a page on this site) represent work done by many others to collect, compile, and publish state species lists. I do not mind if you cite, provide links to, or mention www.antdata.org in other places but please recognize the original sources of the state checklists are almost always culled from other works. These primary sources are always cleary stated and if you have need to reference a checklist in a scientific publication please be sure to also, or primarily, cite the original source. These citations I point to also fulfill another aim of this site; to serve as a guide to to authoritative references for state specific ant fauna information. Other state specific ant web sites that you can connect to from links provided here almost always contain much more information than the basic checklists posted on www.antdata.org pages.

The uneven coverage of available checklists for the United States reflects, in some ways, our current knowledge about North American ant distributions. We have a fairly good understanding of the the ant fauna of the U.S., at least for a majority of species that occur here (Kye and MacKay site linked here). Yet there remain whole regions, and groups of species, that are poorly studied and characterized. Working within a state to produce even a species checklist is one effective and managable way to help build towards a more thorough understanding of the North American ant fauna. Gregg's work with that ants of Colordo and the Wheelers' research in North Dakota were two earlier efforts that did of good job of addressing this problem at a localized state level. Fortunately similar efforts in other U.S states are becoming more prevelant. I hope for states where we do not have good information that this site can at least provide a starting point for others, or perhaps even be a source of annonyance to goad others into action, that are interested in adding to what we know about the ants in areas where we have old, uneven, and incomplete information.
