We present the ¿ rst descriptions of the karyotypes of Gigantiops destructor (Fabricius), an endemic Formicinae of the Amazonian region, which is the only living species in the tribe Gigantiopini, and of a species from the poorly-known cryptic genus Myrmicocrypta, which belongs to the Myrmicinae tribe Attini.Reserva de todos los derechosChromosome numberMinimum interaction TheorydiversityHymenoptera-FormicidaeCytogeneticsEvolutionArtículo10.1080/00379271.2011.10697705Cerrado
