Resumo: Remnants of the Campos Altitude ecosystem are found in the "Campos de Lages" micro-region, SC, southern Brazil. The objective of this work was to evaluate and identify species of leaf-cutter ants that occur in Campos de Altitude. The study was conducted between the months of August 2012 and December 2013, in 18 municipalities of the micro-region of "Campos de Lages", Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. In total, 75 cutter anthills were located, measured and georeferenced, which presented 16 anthills belonging to the genus Atta and 59 to the genus Acromyrmex. Samples of ants from different castes were collected from each anthill for proper identification. One species has been identified in the genus Atta, A. sexdens piriventris and eight in the genus Acromyrmex, Ac. laticeps, Ac. heyeri, Ac. Iundii, Ac. crassispinus, Ac. ambiguus, Ac. aspersus, Ac. coronatus. The species Atta sexdens piriventris, Ac. laticeps and Ac. heyeri, were the most frequent. Species belonging to the genus Acromyrmex were located at altitudes above 1000 meters, and average anthills size of 1.04 ± 0.93 m2. Atta anthills were located at altitudes of up to 850 meters, and had an average size of 132.75 ± 12.96 m2 of total surface area, considering the area of entrance roles.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar e identificar las especies de hormigas cortadoras que ocurren en Campos de Altitud. El estudio se realizó entre los meses de Agosto de 2012 y Diciembre de 2013 en 18 municipios de la microrregión de "Campos de Lages", Santa Catarina, en el sur del Brasil. En total, se localizaron, midieron y georeferenciaron 75 hormigueros cortadores, que presentaron 16 hormigueros pertenecientes al género Atta y 59 al género Acromyrmex. En cada hormiguero se recogieron muestras de hormigas de diferentes castas para su adecuada identificación. Se ha identificado una especie en el género Atta, A. sexdens piriventris y ocho en el género Acromyrmex, Ac. laticeps, Ac. heyeri, Ac. Iundii, Ac. crassispinus, Ac. ambiguus, Ac. aspersus, Ac. coronatus. Las especies Atta sexdens piriventris, Ac. laticeps y Ac. heyeri, fueron las más frecuentes. Las especies del género Acromyrmex fueram localizados en altitudes superiores a los 1000 metros, y un tamaño medio de hormiguero de 1,04 ± 0,93 m2. Los Hormigueros Atta se encontraban en altitudes de hasta 850 metros, y tenían un tamaño medio de 132,75 ± 12,96 m2 de superficie total, considerando el área de los exploradores.Remanescentes do ecossistema Campos Altitude são encontrados na microrregião de "Campos de Lages", SC, sul do Brasil.
