Abstract
This dataset represents a DNA barcode reference library for ants from French Guiana. A total of 3931 new sequences from 16S rRNA gene has been generated. The reference library covers 344 species distributed in 57 genera. 3920 sequences are assigned at the species level and 11 at the genus level. All these sequences were submitted to DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases in the Bioproject: PRJNA779056: 16S French Guiana Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), sequence identifier KFFS00000000.
