Ants are among the most conspicuous and ecologically important of insects. This guide introduces the fascinating and diverse ant fauna of Madagascar, covering 62 genera. The authors discuss their natural history, ecology, and distribution pattems in an extensive introduction, as well as a history of their study and field collecting techniques. Two glossaries are included to help readers identify ants, after which a full-two-thirds of the guide is a photographic guide to the subfamilies and genera.
