Abstract
CentralThailand is one of the most underexplored regions in terms of ant biodiversity. To address this knowledge gap, we present the first comprehensive checklist of known ant species in Wangtakrai Park (WTP) and its surrounding areas, based on specimens collected from 20 sampling sites. A total of 90 identified species across 40 genera and eight subfamilies were recorded. The subfamily Myrmicinae was the highest diversity, representing approximately 40% of both genera and species. Following Myrmicinae, the subfamilies Formicinae, Ponerinae, Dolichoderinae, and Pseudomyrmecinae showed notable species richness. The most common species-rich genera were Polyrhachis (11 species), Pheidole (6), Crematogaster (5), Leptogenys (5), Tetraponera (5), Technomyrmex (5), and Aenictus (4). Notably, Camponotus javaensis Ward, Blaimer & Fisher, 2016 is reported for the first time in Thailand. Twelve alien ant species were recorded in the study area. Additionally, some ant specimens collected from WTP and its surrounding areas are still undergoing identification, with future collection efforts likely to yield additional species records.
