作为世界上17个巨型生物多样性国家之一，印度边境有四个生物多样性热点，拥有令人印象深刻的多样性生命形式。然而，还有很多工作要做，以记录和编目印度的物种及其地理分布，特别是不同的无脊椎动物群体。在本研究中，提供了一份全面和关键的印度蚂蚁物种清单，并提供了最新的国家分布情况。印度共列出了100属828个有效的物种和亚种名称。还确定了文献中可能存在的潜在错误数据、错误识别和可疑的分布记录。目前关于印度蚂蚁的详尽清单将提供关于多样性和分布的全面看法，还将有助于确定未来应进行采样和分类工作的主要欠采样地区。
As one of the 17 megadiverse countries of the world and with four biodiversity hotspots represented in its borders, India is home to an impressive diversity of life forms. However, much work remains to document and catalogue the species of India and their geographic distributions, especially for diverse invertebrate groups. In the present study, a comprehensive and critical list of Indian ant species is provided with up-to-date state-wise distribution. A total of 828 valid species and subspecies names belonging to 100 genera are listed from India. Potential erroneous data, misidentifications and dubious distributional records that may exist in the literature are also identified. The present exhaustive listing of Indian ants will provide a holistic view about diversity and distribution and will also help to identify major undersampled areas where future sampling and taxonomic efforts should be directed.
