Abstract
A list of ant species collected in caves at different localities of Minas Gerais state, Brazil is presented, based on specimens deposited in the Entomological Collection Padre Jesus Santiago Moure (DZUP). Of the 51 species/morphospecies found, two are new records for the state. We encourage an increase in ant collection efforts in Brazilian caves using different sampling techniques and comparative approaches in order to improve the current knowledge of ant diversity in these environments.
根据存放在巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州 Padre Jesus Santiago Moure 昆虫学收藏馆(DZUP)的标本,介绍了在该州不同地点的洞穴中采集到的蚂蚁物种清单。在发现的 51 个物种/变种中,有两个是该州的新记录。我们鼓励利用不同的采样技术和比较方法,加大在巴西洞穴中收集蚂蚁的力度,以提高目前对这些环境中蚂蚁多样性的认识。
