Abstract
Las hormigas habitan y explotan los hábitats más variados desde el subsuelo hasta el dosel del bosque. Sin embargo, los estudios sobre la diversidad de hormigas de la vegetación son menos frecuentes en el Amazonas. En este artículo enumeramos las especies de hormigas recogidas en el sotobosque de un remanente de bosque en un paisaje del sur de la Amazonia. La lista incluye 32 especies, de las cuales tres (9 %) son nuevos registros para el estado de Mato Grosso, Brasil, siendo una de estas especies muestreadas por primera vez en Brasil.

RESUMEN Las hormigas habitan y explotan los hábitats más variados desde el subsuelo hasta el dosel del bosque
This paper lists for the first time the arboreal ant fauna found in an Amazonian forest remnant in the municipality of Paranaíta, State of Mato Grosso, Brazil
All sampled ants were identified to as to genus with Baccaro (2015) and posteriorly, the specimens were sent to specialists to confirm species identification at the ant collection from the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi (MPEG) and Coleção Entomológica Padre Jesus Santiago Moure (DZUP), both in Brazil, where vouchers were deposited
Summary
RESUMEN Las hormigas habitan y explotan los hábitats más variados desde el subsuelo hasta el dosel del bosque. Regional species lists, of ants, are an important tool for the development of scientific research and for the creation of conservation projects (Lewinsohn et al 2005, Vicente et al 2016). The ants occupy areas from the subsoil to the forest canopy, studies on the diversity of arboreal ant fauna are not so frequent in Neotropical regions, being scarce in the Amazon (Ryder-Wilkie et al 2010, Vicente et al 2016).
