They were manually collected using fine tip forceps. Collection were made mainly along the main trail,

Minodtuhan Trail and at the Sunken Valley. The 58 species of ants collected were representatives of 5 subfamilies. The subfamilies were Ponerinae, Dorylinae, Myrmicinae,

Dolichoderinae, and Formicinae. Interestingly collection from this area showed a higher percentage of ponerine, followed by myrmecine and formicine. Collection from lowland forests

would yield a higher percentage of myrmecines or formicines or vice versa and then ponerines. The list of ants genera was given in this report and comments on various subfamilies were made

based on comparison with ant fauna of the lowland.1 aMohamed, M. uhttps://singaporeants.myspecies.info/node/769
