Abstract: The state of Maranhão, located in northeastern Brazil, comprises three biomes: Amazonian, Caatinga, and the Cerrado. To date, 99 ant species have been recorded in the literature from the state. In the present work, we provide for the first time a profile of the ant fauna in the state based on data from the historical literature and Brazilian institutional collections. The updated records on ant diversity for the state of Maranhão revealed a total of 279 species, belonging to 71 genera and 10 subfamilies. In to… Show more

“…Two exotic species, Monomorium pharaonis (Linnaeus, 1758) and Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille, 1802), were recorded. These species had already been recorded for neighboring states (AntMaps, 2019;Prado et al, 2019). Monomorium pharaonis is considered a species of medical importance in many parts of the world, including Brazil, specifically in hospitals, where it is a potential carrier of pathogens (Wetterer, 2010).…”

“…38i The pinelii species group (Figs. 40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48) The pinelii group was first proposed by Kempf (1952) In the morphological phylogeny (De Andrade and Baroni Urbani, 1999, see their Fig. 24), the group pinelii is recovered as monophyletic, with the species C. kukulcan, C. scutulatus and C. incertus forming a deeply nested grouping within the clade.…”
