蚁属Nylanderia的多样性目前被低估，基本上没有描述。这包括物种丰富度通常较高的热带地区的动物群。在这里，西印度群岛Nylanderia动物群的分类是第一次修订。新发现的14个物种，使该地区已知的物种总数达到22个。新种为：N. bibadia，sp. nov.，N. caerula，sp. nov.，N. coveri，sp. nov.，N.迪萨特拉，新种，N. esperanza，sp. nov.，N. fuscapecula，sp. nov.，N. lucayana，sp. nov.，N. metacista，sp. nov.，N. pini，sp. nov.，N. nov.，N. sierra，sp. nov.，N. wardi，sp. nov.，N. xestonota，sp. nov.，和N. zaminyops，sp. nov.该地区有几个引进种，包括全球广泛分布的旧大陆种N.波旁威士忌其他引进种有N. fulva，黄绿拟单胞菌N. pubens，N. guatemalensis和N.斯坦海利。新的异名如下：fulva Mayr 1862（= fulva cubana Santschi 1930）; steinheili Forel 1893（= steinheili minuta Forel 1893）。为在西印度群岛发现的Nylanderia工人提供了识别钥匙。为每个种属的工蚁提供照片蒙太奇图像，并在可用时为雄性提供照片蒙太奇和SEM图像。这项工作代表了在了解这种广泛和常见的蚂蚁属的多样性方面又向前迈出了一步。
The diversity of the formicine ant genus Nylanderia is currently underestimated and largely undescribed. This includes the faunas of tropical regions where species richness is typically high. Here, the taxonomy of the West Indian Nylanderia fauna is revised for the first time. Fourteen new species are described, bringing the total number of species known from the region to 22. The new species are: N. bibadia, sp. nov., N. caerula, sp. nov., N. coveri, sp. nov., N. disatra, sp. nov., N. esperanza, sp. nov., N. fuscaspecula, sp. nov., N. lucayana, sp. nov., N. metacista, sp. nov., N. pini, sp. nov., N. semitincta, sp. nov., N. sierra, sp. nov., N. wardi, sp. nov., N. xestonota, sp. nov., and N. zaminyops, sp. nov. There are several introduced species in the region including the globally widespread Old World species N. bourbonica. Other introduced species are N. fulva, N. pubens, N. guatemalensis, and N. steinheili. The following new synonyms are proposed: fulva Mayr 1862 (= fulva cubana Santschi 1930); steinheili Forel 1893 (= steinheili minuta Forel 1893). An identification key is provided for the workers of Nylanderia found in the West Indies. Photomontage images are provided for the worker of each species and when available photomontage and SEM images are provided for males. This work represents another step forward in understanding the diversity of this widespread and commonly encountered ant genus.
