We compiled records of 52 ant species from Bonaire, 38 Neotropical species and 14 Paleotropical species. Remarkably, 15 ant species were recorded only once on Bonaire, suggesting that many additional ant species have yet to be found. South America appears to be the main source of Bonaire’s ant fauna. In fact, every Neotropical ant species we recorded has also been recorded from South America. The Paleotropical species are all tramp species spread through human commerce.
