Genera with more diversity are Pheidole (20 species), Pseudomyrmex (12), Neivamyrmex (11), Camponotus (10) and Crematogaster (8). MIFA-UAT contains almost 70% of genera recorded in Tamaulipas. Las hormigas son insectos que participan en muchas de las cadenas alimenticias terres­tres; algunas especies son plagas, otras son enemigos naturales de diversos artrópodos. El objetivo de este artículo fue informar sobre los géneros y especies de hormigas presen­tes en el Museo de Insectos de la Facultad de Agronomía [hoy Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias (FIC)] de la Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas (MIFA-UAT), así como de los re­gistros para el Estado de Tamaulipas, México. Se determinó taxonómicamente el material de Formicidae del MIFA-UAT y se recopiló in­formación de diversas colecciones y publicaciones en México. Se encontró que, en el Estado de Tamaulipas, los formícidos se han colectado desde hace más de dos décadas, y que esta familia se encuentra representada por nueve subfamilias, 53 géneros y 155 es­pecies y en el MIFA-UAT por ocho subfamilias, 35 géneros y 60 especies. Los géneros con mayor diversidad son Pheidole (20 especies), Pseudomyrmex (12), Neivamyrmex (11), Cam­ponotus (10) y Crematogaster (8). El MIFA-UAT posee casi el 70 % de los géneros de hormi­gas registradas en Tamaulipas.
