Abstract: An investigation was made on the ant species in five habitats (forest plantation, uncultivated land, farmland, resident area, and hill) in Eastern Henan Plain in April and May, 2006. A total of 62703 ants were collected, belonging to 43 species, 18 genera, and 5 subfamilies. The ant species composition and diversity differed with habitat. The more humandisturbed the habitat, the lower the ant diversity index; the higher quality and heterogeneity the habitat, the higher the ant diversity index was.
