Ants (Hymenoptera: Forimicidae) are exceedingly common in nature. They constitute a conspicuous part of the terrestrial animal biomass and are also considered common ecosystem engineers. Due to their key role in natural habitats, they are at the basis of any nature conservation policy. Thus, the first step in developing adequate conservation and management policies is to build a precise faunistic inventory. More than 16,000 valid ant species are registered worldwide, of which 126 are known to occur in Hungary. Thanks to the last decade's efforts in the Hungarian myrmecological research, and because of the constantly changing taxonomy of several problematic ant genera, a new checklist of the Hungarian ants is presented here. The state of the Hungarian myrmecofauna is also discussed in the context of other European countries' ant fauna. Six species (, , , , and ) have been reported for the first time in the Hungarian literature, nine taxon names were changed after systematic replacements, nomenclatorial act, or as a result of splitting formerly considered continuous populations into more taxa. Two species formerly believed to occur in Hungary are now excluded from the updated list. All names are nomenclaturally assessed, and complete synonymies applied in the Hungarian literature for a certain taxon are provided. Wherever it is not self-evident, comments are added, especially to explain replacements of taxon names. Finally, we present a brief descriptive comparison of the Hungarian myrmecofauna with the ant fauna of the surrounding countries. The current dataset is a result of ongoing work on inventorying the Hungarian ant fauna, therefore it is expected to change over time and will be updated once the ongoing taxonomic projects are completed.
蚂蚁（膜翅目：蚁科）在自然界中极为常见。它们是陆地动物生物量的显著组成部分，也被视为常见的生态系统工程师。由于它们在自然栖息地中的关键作用，它们是任何自然保护政策的基础。因此，制定适当的保护和管理政策的第一步是建立精确的动物区系清单。全球已登记的有效蚂蚁物种超过16000种，其中已知有126种在匈牙利出现。得益于过去十年匈牙利蚁类生态学研究的努力，以及由于几个有问题的蚂蚁属的分类不断变化，本文给出了一份匈牙利蚂蚁的新清单。还在其他欧洲国家蚂蚁动物区系的背景下讨论了匈牙利蚁类动物区系的状况。有6个物种（、、、、和）首次在匈牙利文献中被报道，9个分类单元名称在系统替换、命名行为或由于将以前认为连续的种群划分为更多分类单元后发生了变化。以前认为在匈牙利出现的两个物种现在已从更新后的清单中排除。所有名称都进行了命名评估，并提供了匈牙利文献中针对某个分类单元应用的完整同义词。在不明显的地方添加了注释，特别是为了解释分类单元名称的替换。最后，我们对匈牙利蚁类动物区系与周边国家的蚂蚁动物区系进行了简要的描述性比较。当前数据集是对匈牙利蚂蚁动物区系进行清查的正在进行的工作的结果，因此预计会随时间变化，并将在正在进行的分类学项目完成后进行更新。
