Ants of Guatemala
Report by John T. (Jack) Longino, The Evergreen State College.
This is a partial list of the ants of Guatemala. It is not an exhaustive list based on literature and museum holdings. It is based on specimen records currently in the AntWeb database. Much of the material listed comes from Project LLAMA. 391 taxa are listed on this page.
This is a static webpage with links to the AntWeb species pages, where you can see distribution maps on Google Earth. If links are dead, that means the database has changed as hypotheses of species boundaries evolve and names change.
The LLAMA project has not emphasized arboreal ants.
