ABSTRACT: VEIGA-FERREIRA, S.; MAYHÉ-NUNES, A. J.; QUEIROZ, J. M. Litter ants from Reserva
Biológica do Tinguá, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Revista Universidade
Rural: Série Ciências da Vida, Seropédica, RJ: EDUR, v. 25, n.1, p. 49-54, jan.-jun., 2005. This is the
first inventory of leaf litter ants from Atlantic forest in the Rio de Janeiro State. Samples were taken in the
summer and winter 2002, using Winkler sacks to capture ants from 100 plots of 1 m2 leaf litter. The total of
12296 specimens were collected; ants were distributed in 114 species. The total number of species observed
in both seasons represented 79.6% and 89.5% of the estimated richness by the methods Chao2 and
Bootstrap, respectively. The ant richness per sample was significantly greater in summer than in the winter
(T test, P < 0.001). The mean richness of ants per sample in Tinguá fitted very well the Neotropical pattern of
leaf litter ant richness.
Key Words: diversity, abundance distribution, tropical rain forest, W inkler sacks method.
