The present checklist of ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Ambon is the first comprehensive overview of ant species recorded on the island during the last 150 years. The species list is based on literature and museum collections' records combined with data from our field survey in 2010. In total, there are 74 ant species and subspecies representing 34 genera and six subfamilies known from Ambon. Five of the species found in undisturbed forest were exotic and indicate the overall habitat degradation on the island. The largest proportion of Ambon ant fauna are species with affinities to the Oriental region and species of Oriental-Austro-Melanesian origin. At least 20% of the species are regional endemics. In comparison to other islands in the region, the Ambon fauna seems more diverse and better sampled; however it is clear that a large part of it still remains to be described.
本文关于安汶岛蚂蚁（膜翅目：蚁科）的清单是过去150年来该岛所记录蚂蚁物种的首次全面概述。物种清单基于文献、博物馆馆藏记录以及我们2010年实地调查的数据。安汶岛总共已知有74种蚂蚁物种和亚种，分属于34个属和6个亚科。在未受干扰的森林中发现的5个物种为外来物种，这表明该岛整体栖息地退化。安汶岛蚂蚁区系中比例最大的是与东洋区有亲缘关系的物种以及起源于东洋 - 澳大拉西亚 - 美拉尼西亚的物种。至少20%的物种为区域特有种。与该地区的其他岛屿相比，安汶岛的动物区系似乎更加多样，且采样更充分；然而很明显，其中很大一部分仍有待描述。
