Abstract

We found Multilure traps baited with Strepha Trap® to be a useful method for sampling arboreal ants. A total of 7 ant species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) were recorded from 8 Multilure traps associated with tree canopies in a Neotropical transition region in northeastern Mexico. The genus Azteca and the species A. schimperi Emery are reported for the first time in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. This finding represents the northernmost distribution of these species in the Americas.
