The following list of the ants of China, based on published occurrence data, is from Guenard and Dunn (2012). A summary of the list from this publication states: "Through literature review, we have added 708 species and subspecies to the list of the ants of China since the last bibliographic revision of Chinese species (Wu & Wang 1995). Despite the large number of named species (939) already recorded from China, our results suggest that many more species, perhaps twice as many, remain to be found. When comparing the geographically similar China and United States, Chinese ant diversity is anomalously low compared to other plant and animal lineages. We suggest that this pattern reflects the poor knowledge of Chinese ants and that many ant species are yet to be recorded or discovered in China. The taxonomy of Chinese ants is still unsatisfactory for many genera and complete revision is necessary in a number of cases in order to clarify the status of problematic species and subspecies, and discard possible synonyms, while separating cryptic species now clustered into species complexes."
Additional species should be added to this list as called for: from additional publication records being found, with the addition of new species described from China or through specimen based occurrence records.
There is also a Regional Project page for the Ants of China.
