An updated checklist of the ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Sri Lanka is presented. These include representatives of eleven of the 17 known extant subfamilies with 341 valid ant species in 79 genera. Mayr, 1879 is reported as a new species country record for Sri Lanka. Notes about type localities, depositories, and relevant references to each species record are given. Accounts of the dubious and some undetermined species from Sri Lanka are also provided. 82 species (24%) are endemic whereas 18 species that are non-native to Sri Lanka are recorded. The list provides a synthesis of the regional taxonomical work carried out to date and will serve as a baseline for future studies on the ant fauna of this biodiversity hotspot.

本文给出了斯里兰卡蚂蚁（膜翅目：蚁科）的最新名录。其中包括已知现存17个亚科中11个亚科的代表，共79属341种有效蚂蚁物种。1879年的迈尔蚁被报道为斯里兰卡新的物种国家记录。文中给出了每种物种记录的模式产地、标本保存处及相关参考文献的注释。还提供了斯里兰卡可疑物种和一些未确定物种的说明。82种（24%）为特有种，同时记录了18种非斯里兰卡本土物种。该名录综合了迄今为止开展的区域分类学工作，将作为该生物多样性热点地区未来蚂蚁区系研究的基线。
