At genus level inside world zoogeographical district, the ant fauna on Daba Mountain Nature Reserve was predominant in Oriental and Palaearctic component, closest to Indo-Australian, Australasian and Nearctic region, and furthest to Neotropical region. At species level inside world zoogeographical district, the ant fauna on Daba Mountain Nature Reserve was predominant in Oriental component, closest to Palaearctic district, related to Indo-Australian and Nearctic region, and be furthest to Neotropical and Malagasy region. Inside Chinese zoogeographical districts, the ant species were endemic in Central China district, closest to South China and Southwest China districts, and be furthest to Mongo-Xinjiang district.
