Thailand has a great diversity of ant fauna as a zoogeographical crossroads and biodiversity hotspot. The last publication presenting a Thai ant checklist was published in 2005. In the present paper, based on an examination of museum specimens and published records, a comprehensive and critical species list of Thai ants is synthesized. Currently, 529 valid species and subspecies in 109 genera among ten subfamilies are known from Thailand with their diversity and distribution within 77 provinces presented and assigned to six geographical regions. Furthermore, Thailand is the type locality for 81 ant species. Forty-one species are here newly recorded for Thailand with photographs illustrating these species. The checklist provides information on distribution and a comprehensive bibliography. This study will also serve as a guide for the upper northeast and central Thailand, which are poorly sampled; a comprehensive reference list relating to endemic taxa and localities where conservation is an important priority, thus an essential resource for policy makers and conservation planners concerned with the management of insect diversity in Thailand; and a list of exotic ant species found in Thailand, which could possibly impact the ecological balance.

“…Collingwood (1970) was the first author to publish a list of 34 Nepalese ant species based upon the collections of the 1954 British Museum expedition to east Nepal and Professor H Janetshek's 1961 expedition to the Khumbu Himal region. The papers which described ants from Nepalese specimens or reported Nepalese ants included Menozzi, 1939;Mani & Singh, 1962;Wilson & Taylor, 1967;Collingwood, 1970Collingwood, , 1982Baroni-Urbani, 1975;1977a, 1977bBolton, 1974Bolton, , 1977Bolton, , 1992Bolton, , 2000Bolton, , 2007Rigato, 1994;Schodl, 1998;DuBois, 1998;Radchenko & Elmes, 1998, 1999, 2010Tiwari et al, 1999Tiwari et al, , 2003Thapa, 2000Thapa, , 2015Ward, 2001;Dill, 2002;Radchenko, 2003;Seifert, 2003Seifert, , 2020Wang, 2003;LaPolla, 2004;Nelder et al, 2006;Baroni-Urbani & De Andrade, 2007;Eguchi, 2008;Wetterer, 2008Wetterer, , 2009aWetterer, ,b, 2010Wetterer, , 2011Elmes & Radchenko, 2009;Branstetter, 2009;Hosoishi and Ogata, 2016;Bharti et al, 2016b;…”

Nepal occupies the Central part of the Himalayas and offers unique ecological and species diversity. Ants are amongst the most diverse and successful insects on the Earth. Study of Nepalese myrmeco-fauna has started only after 1906 and little is known about them except the availability of few published works only. This paper provides a brief overview of the status of ant research in Nepal, type localities, distribution records, diagnosis and etymology of ant species which are described for the first time from Nepalese specimens. All the type materials of these species are deposited in museums abroad and it seems essential to deposit voucher specimens in the country to excel taxonomic work on Nepalese fauna. Systematic surveys of ants and well-curetted ant depository will facilitate the discovery of more ant species from Nepal. We hope that this paper will stimulate local interest in the study of ants of Nepal.

Based on results of analyzing samples collected by the methods: on the ground bait trapping, subterranean bait trapping, direct sampling and pitfall trapping from July 2009 to December 2015 at 77 sampling plots of 21 districts in Hanoi, a total of 145 ant species belonging to 53 genera, 9 subfalilies were identified. The results of the study has added two genera (Brachymyrmex Mayr, 1868 and Formosimyrma Terayama, 2009), 42 species to Vietnam ant species composition list and added 65 species to the ant species list in Hanoi. Ant species colllected in Hanoi are classified into 9 functional groups: DD, OP, GM, CS, SC, SP, HCS, TCS and CCS. Of which, OP had the largest number of species (34 species), followed by CS (27 species), GM (26 species), SP (20 species), TCS (20 species), SC (14 species); CCS and DD groups have only one species. Opportunists-OP accounted for the highest proportion (51.7 ± 23.1%), followed by the Generalized Myrmicinae-GM (30.0 ± 21.1%), the other functional groups accounted for less than 10%. There is a statistically significant negative linear relationship between the proportion of GM and the proportion of OP in the study area. The proportion of GM tends to decrease from agricultural plots (not yet urbanized) to construction plots (being urbanized) and lowest in urban plots (urban residential plots and urban green spaces). Conversely, the proportion of OP tends to increase from agricultural plots to construction plots, and highest in urban plots. Analyzing the variation of functional groups in the urbanization in West of Hanoi shows that the degree of environmental disturbance (before, during or after construction) had a strong influence on the composition of functional groups, especially GM and OP. So we can look to the study to use ant functional groups as tools to assess the extent of human impact on the ecosystem.
