Abstract: Esterase isoenzymes of the samples of the selected ants are studied with isoelectrofocusing (IEF).Differences of zymograms are found among subfamilies,genera,and species.No differences of zymograms are found among workers of the same species,though there are a few differences between the soldiers and the workers.According to the results,IEF is a very helpful tool in the study of ant taxonomy.
