sis for ecological and habitat monitoring studies. Likewise, this section reviews the practical procedures to start and manage an ant collection. Two chapters are dedicated to the economic importance of ants as plague or pests in rural and urban ecosystems. The remaining sections provide a synopsis of Neotropical genera, including their diagnoses, distributions, biology and taxonomic revisions, as well as an updated checklist of all extant and fossil genera of the world, including the known Neotropical species and subspecies. However, Bolton’s (2003) recent synopsis should be consulted to update some changes for the subfamilies and genera. Finally, the two annexes provide an explanation of the protocol ALL to sample ground-dwelling ants and a useful list of entomological museums with major collections of ants in the Americas, and type depository collections of ants in the world. In addition, widely used abbreviations of the museums in the scientific literature as well as contact e-mails and website addresses are include in the list.
