Hi everyone!

In June 2013, Benoit Guénard, Benjamin Blanchard and I went to Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, a tropical region of southwest China (21°55′N, 101°15′E)  to collect ants. Over 20.000 specimens from 61 genera and 237 morphospecies were collected through Winkler extractors and hand collection. Here are the results of our sampling effort.
