Checklist of ants of selected hill dipterocarp forests of peninsular Malaysia.

A Survey of ants (Hymenoptera;formicidae) in six hill dipterocarp forests in peninsular Malaysia recorded 187 species (=morphospecies from seven subfamilies and 50 genera. Gunung Angsi forest reseach yielded the higher species richness (87 species).while Ulu Gombak forest reserve, the lowest(60 spec...
