En muchas comunidades de manglares, las hormigas son reconocidas como el grupo dominante de artrópodos por su abundancia. En el presente trabajo, se estudió la mirmecofauna presente en el suelo del área de Xcalak, Quintana Roo, México durante febrero de 2010. El estudio se desarrolló en parcelas sin impacto antropogénico evidente cercanas al poblado de Xcalak (18°16’ 00’’N-87° 50’ 7.79’’W) donde domina el mangle blanco (Laguncularia racemosa). El muestreo se realizó mediante trapas NTP-80 cebadas con calamar y que contenían una mezcla de alcohol y anticongelante en una proporción de 70:30, utilizando 30 trampas que fueron activadas durante 7 días. El material colectado fue lavado con agua corriente, identificado y almacenado posteriormente en alcohol al 70%. Series de los ejemplares colectados fueron montados en alfileres para su revisión. Nueve especies de ocho géneros fueron registradas en el estudio (Forelius, Linephitema, Paratrechina, Camponotus, Solenopsis, Acromyrmex, Pseudomyrmex y Odontomachus), resultando Solenopsis geminata la especie más abundante, seguida de Forelius mccooki. De acuerdo con otros estudios realizados en manglares mexicanos, las comunidades de hormigas en este ambiente muestran una baja riqueza de especies pero altas abundancias, tal como se encontró en este estudio. Este es el primer registro de especies de hormigas para manglares en el área Xcalak.
