The synthesis of comprehensive databases on the identity and distributions of alien organisms is a critical step to developing informed invasion management plans and identifying areas that are data-deficient. Here, we assembled all available records of alien ant distributions for Mexico, based on the literature, databases and unpublished data for a period ranging from 1855 to 2019; we compiled 967 records for 42 ant species non-native to Mexico, distributed across 438 localities. For the first time, we present mapped records and the distribution database of alien ants which is available through The Global Ant Biodiversity Informatics database at www.antmaps.org. The most commonly recorded species were Paratrechina longicornis, Monomorium pharaonis and Anoplolepis gracilipes. The states with the most records were Veracruz, Chiapas, Jalisco and Quintana Roo. The alien ants were most frequently encountered in urban areas (372 records) and in deciduous forest habitats (220). We provide summary of their distribution patterns and other related information useful for the control of these species in Mexico.

关于外来生物的身份和分布的综合数据库的综合，对于制定知情的入侵管理计划和确定数据不足的区域至关重要。在这里，我们根据文献，数据库和1855年至2019年期间的未发布数据，汇总了墨西哥所有可用的外来蚂蚁分布记录；我们针对428种非墨西哥以外的42种蚂蚁物种编制了967条记录。我们首次展示了外来蚂蚁的映射记录和分布数据库，可通过www.antmaps.org上的“全球蚂蚁生物多样性信息数据库”获得这些信息。最常记录的物种是Paratrechina longicornis，Monororium pharaonis和细拟线虫。记录最多的州是韦拉克鲁斯州，恰帕斯州，哈利斯科州和金塔纳罗奥州。外来蚂蚁在城市地区（372个记录）和落叶林生境（220个）中最常见。我们提供了它们的分布模式的摘要以及对墨西哥的这些物种的控制有用的其他相关信息。
