Abstract

Anochetus mayri is a widespread New World species, ranging from South and Central America and the West Indies, north to Florida and the Bahamas. Published records of A. mayri outside of the tropics come from six sites in Florida and two in the Bahamas . The northernmost published record of A. mayri came from the Pine Jog Environmental Learning Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, collected in 2002 in pine and oak litter samples. I examined whether A. mayri was also present in surrounding areas with similar environmental conditions. I found A. mayri in pine litter at other sites in Palm Beach County, but I did not find this species in similar habitats in Lee County. Additional unpublished records indicate that A. mayri is widespread in deep pine litter in Florida north to Indian River County and West to Highlands County.
