Resumo: 	The available information regarding the geographic distribution of Atta robusta Borgmeier is confused and raised the necessity of revision of both its distribution and its endemic status. This paper ascertained the occurrence of A. robusta in restingas of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro states, Brazil, through fieldwork, museum visits and bibliographical revision. No reference mentioned its occurrence out of restinga vegetation, as well as in states located south of Rio de Janeiro. We confirmed that A. robusta is endemic of restinga vegetation and it is restricted to the strip of the denominated Moist Oriental Tertiary Brazilian Coast. Such a distribution is possibly due to geographical and ecological barriers that obstruct its dispersion to other environments.
