[dspdrew]

That's unbelievable. Where might you be keeping them all?

[Gregory2455]

That is not what this means Drew, Gaige is guessing from Antweb what species are in his state, Indiana.

[AntsAreUs]

I put together the species from Ohio and Illinois.

[AntsAreUs]

Just in case I need any ID's.

I really need to look for Strumygenys!

[Gregory2455]

Consider renaming this thread "List of Species That May be Found in the State of Indiana".

[dspdrew]

That would make more sense.

[James C. Trager]

It's a reasonable list for the Indiana fauna. There are large areas of the state where only a few common, very adaptable, disturbance tolerant ones occur, and some on the list are naturally restricted to only the northern or only the southern part of the state, or to highly quality and remote natural area remnants (hard to find in IN).
The sandy oak savannas and dune prairies of the northwestern part of Indiana are particularly rich in ants and are a sort of meeting ground of northern and southern components of the fauna.. 

Of course, Cardiocondyla (any species), Hypoponera ragusai, Nylanderia bourbonica, Pheidole bilemeki, Tetramorium bicarinatum (and any tropical Brachymyrmex not listed) would be only in greenhouses, and T. tsushimae probably hasn't spread to Indiana, yet. 

Also, add the recently described Polyergus sanwaldi, represented by a nice sample from Kankakee Co., IN, kept at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. 
Most likely the recently described Nylanderia querna will eventually be found there, eventually, in the southernmost part of the state.

[AntsAreUs]

I just collected the ants from the states around me, it is not exact that is why I put "might".
