ANTS OF SINT MAARTEN / SAINT-MARTIN, species list

(Dutch and French part)

This list is based on material collected in the years 1937, 1949, 1955,
1956, 1957, 1963 and 1967 (for a small part) by R.H. Cobben and A.C.J. Burgers and for the most part by P. Wagenaar Hummelinck.
The ants are part of the collection of Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden, the Netherlands.
This list could certainly by longer, given the occurrence of certain species found on surrounding islands.
All identification are done by Peter Boer.
