Abstract:

The ants of Idaho have been listed only once: Cole (1936) reported 3 subfamilies, 17 genera, 48 species, and 25 subspecies or varieties for a total of 73 forms of ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) as occurring in Idaho. This new checklist contains 4 subfamilies, 23 genera, and 115 species, with 7 subspecies and a hybrid, for a total of 123 forms. A total of 21 species are listed for the first time from Idaho. These are Myrmica sp. (near discontinua), Pheidole pilifera pacifica, Leptothorax diversipilosus, Forelius foetidus, Brachymyrmex depilis, Camponotus essigi, C. semitestaceus, Acanthomyops coloradensis, Formica aerata, F. bradleyi, F. ciliata, F. laeviceps, F. lepida, F. sp. (near neoclara), F. occulta, F. pacifica, F. opaciventris, F. rubicunda, F. tahoensis, F. ulkei, and F. vinculans. The differences in numbers of genera and species between Cole's list and the present one can be misleading. Many of the new names here are a result of nomenclatural changes in recent years.
