老挝是蚂蚁生物多样性最缺乏的地区之一。我们通过展示老挝蚂蚁的第一份清单开始解决这一知识差距。这份名单是根据文献综述和从老挝几个地方收集的标本编制的。共有9个亚科47属123种，外加3个亚种，其中国内首次记录62种。与邻国的比较表明，这份名单仍然非常不完整。老挝境内蚂蚁的省级分布也表明，大多数记录的物种来自老挝中部的万象省，而大多数其他省份的蚂蚁样本很少，如果有的话。在老挝收集的许多蚂蚁标本有待鉴定，未来的收集将提供许多新的物种记录。
Laos is one of the most undersampled areas for ant biodiversity. We begin to address this knowledge gap by presenting the first checklist of Laotian ants. The list is based on a literature review and on specimens collected from several localities in Laos. In total, 123 species with three additional subspecies in 47 genera belonging to nine subfamilies are listed, including 62 species recorded for the first time in the country. Comparisons with neighboring countries suggest that this list is still very incomplete. The provincial distribution of ants within Laos also show that most species recorded are from Vientiane Province, the central part of Laos while the majority of other provinces have received very little, if any, ant sampling. Many ant specimens collected from Laos are awaiting identification and future collections should provide many new species records.
