The present catalogue lists ant types of 12 tribes (Adelomyrmecini, Basicerotini, Blepharidattini, Crematogastrini, Formicoxenini, Lenomyrmecini, Myrmicini, Phalacromyrmecini, Pheidolini, Stegomyrmecini, Stenammini and Tetramoriini) housed in the Formicidae Collection of the Hymenoptera Laboratory, Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de Sao Paulo (MZSP), Brazil, completing the publication of Myrmicinae types here deposited. In total, the present catalogue includes types of 213 nominal species, of which 169 are still valid. The majority of the ant type species in the Myrmicinae collection from the hereby-listed tribes are paratypes representing 102 species, but there are as well 12 species represented by holotypes only, 28 by holotypes and paratypes, 65 species by syntypes, and five species by lecotypes and paralectotypes. We record the label information, morphological condition of the specimens, nomenclatural changes, type status, following the recommendations of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN).
