Abstract

A list of myrmicine and pseudomyrmecine ants from Lambir Hills National Park, Sarawak, Borneo is presented with biological information. A total of 227 species (214 in Myrmicinae and 13 in Pseudomyrmecinae) in 30 genera (29 and 1 respectively) are recorded, of which 133 (58.6%) are identified at species level. The most specious genus is Creamatogaster (46 species), followed by Tetramorium (30), Strumigenys (23), and Pheidole (22). Nine species are newly recorded from Borneo: Strumigenys epyna, S. nesterix, Crematogaster ransonneti, C. simboloni, Tetramorium eleates, Vollenhovia longicephala and V. modiglianii. Papers treating Myrmicinae and Pseudomyrmecinae of Lambir Hills National Park are listed.
