A study about ant species composition in a highland of agricultural areas at Alahan Panjang Village, Solok District, West Sumatra Province was conducted in 2016 by using modified of quads protocol methods. A total of 18 ant species belonging to four subfamilies, eight tribes and 15 genera was collected. Myrmicinae was the highest in species number (eight species) followed by Formicinae (five species), Dolichoderinae (three species) and Ponerinae (two species). All ant species were different between two plantations except Monomorium florica (Jerdon, 1851) which was collected for both. Carebara cf. pygmaeus Emery, 1887 was the highest in the number of individuals which was found at Wheat site. Six functional group of ants were detected from all species collected. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
