Abstract

Here we present a brief historic of the Entomological Collection Padre Jesus Santiago Moure of the Federal University of Paraná (DZUP), Curitiba, Brazil, with emphasis on the origin and coverage of its newly expanded myrmecological collection. We list key events of expansion, facilities descriptions, associated research groups, and collaborating institutions essential for the establishment of the DZUP ant collection. Finally, we highlight the exponential growth of the myrmecological collection, from four entomological drawers and about 1,000 specimens deposited in 2013 to about 360 drawers and 180,000 specimens today.
