This web covers the whole Palaeartic and Macaronesia. An species list is available for each Geozone. Please, have into account that this is an on-going work. Some zones are very well studied both because either some recent review of that particular geozone has been published or because some taxonomists working there are collaborating with this web. The species lists can change everyday, depending on the bibliography reviews and findings of the site members. We list in the next paragraph the main source for our initial listings, although they may have changed.

The Geozones with in depth coverage in this web are:

• Iberian Peninsula
• Macaronesia
• Morocco

This means that some members are actively working on this geozones, and species lists are updated and reliable.

Zones with ongoing work by members are:

• Algeria
• Tunisia

In this zones we are in the phase of listing all of the bibliography records, synonymies, etc., and the listings, although extensive, are being depured now

Other Zones either have their fauna recently revised or working data on well informed sites appear:

• Arabian peninsula 1 2 3 4 and Socotra Islands 5
• Austria: Antweb
• Belgium: Antweb
• China: Ants of China
• Croatia: Antweb
• Czech Republic6
• Egypt: Ants of Egypt
• France7
• Germany 8
• Hungary 9
• Israel: Although initially based on the existing list at Discover Life, the current list is based on the more updated document sent by Mr. Armin Ionescu, an annotated list based on the works developed by Prof. Kugler and his own work.
• Italy 10
• Japan: Ants of Japan
• North Korea 11
• Kyrgyzstan12
• Malta 13 14
• Mongolia: Ants of Mongolia
• Netherlands: Antweb
• Romania 15
• Sardinia 16
• Serbia: Antweb
• Sicily 17
• Slovakia18
• Slovenia: Antweb
• Switzerland19

The rest are mere gathering of disperse information, and its validity is not more than a non-critic bibliographic compilation, with synonimies updated, but we think it's helpful to know at least what we do know of the places we do not know much. Of course, you're invited to join our community and help us to maintain these lists updated, or giving us any guidance.
