Included are keys to all subfamilies, genera, and species with illustrations photographs, and a regional map for each species. This faunistic survey gives valuable data of biodiversity and macro/microhabitat selection of ant species.]Species considered as previously unreported from Louisiana: Ponerinae; Pachycondyla stigma; Proceratiinae; Discothyrea testacea; Proceratium silaceum; Myrmicinae; Crematogaster ashmeadi; Crematogaster atkinsoni; Crematogaster cerasi; Crematogaster lineolata; Crematogaster minutissima; Crematogaster vermiculata; Pyramica carolinensis; Pyramica hyalina; Pyramica metaxytes; Pyramica reflexa; Cardiocondyla wroughtonii; Myrmecina americana; Aphaenogaster ashmeadi; Pheidole dentata; Dolichoderinae; Tapinomia melanocephalum; Tapinomia sessile; ormicinae; Brachymyrmex obscurior; Camponotus (Colobopsis) obliqus; Camponotus atriceps; Camponotus chromaiodes; Camponotus nearcticus; Polyergus lucidus.Species that are likely to occur in Louisiana: Ecitoninae; Neivamyrmex carolinensis; Neivamyrmex texana; Amblyoponiniae; Amblyopone pallipes; Ponerinae; Odonotmachus brunneus; Hypoponera inexorata; Hypoponera punctatissima; Myrmicinae; Aphaenogaster ashmeadi; Aphaenogaster mairae; Apheanogaster tennesseensis; Aphaenogaster miamiana; Pheidole bicarinata; Pheidole crassicornis; Pheidole morrisi; Pheidole pilifera; Pheidole sitarches; Pyramica abdita; Pyramica laevinasis; Pyramica missouriensis; Tetramorium lanuginosum; Tetramorium caespitum; Dolichoderinae; Dolichoderus pustulatus; Dorymyrmex smithi; Linepithema iniquum; Forelius mccooki; Formicinae; Camponotus pylartes pylartes; Camponotus sansabeanus; Camponotus socius; Formica subsericea; Formica interga.</p>

	abstract = {<p>More than four decades have passed since the completion of the checklist by Moser and Blum (1960) of the ants of Louisiana. This research represents a significant contribution to and an update of their work. This report is the first-ever comprehensive assessment of the formicid fauna of Louisiana. One hundred thirty-two species from 40 genera and nine subfamilies were found. Information on how Louisiana ant fauna compares to that of adjacent states and Nearctic fauna are provided. Interesting results include the identity of exotic and pestiferous species, missing species, species lost, and previously unreported species.</p>
