: But I would use "castes". It seems to be the current term in English as it is in Portuguese.

Obrigada, Danik! A princípio eu também pensei em castes, Danik. Porém, depois pensei que talvez não combinasse com formigas. "Castes" me parece mais para pessoas, como, por exemplo, indianos.

Leafcutter ants have more castes than any other species of ant. There are 22 different community jobs the colony caste members must perform.
I guess the author means that they have the largest caste structure of all social insects, or something like that.
It's about their caste system (their "social structure", let's say). The text is about leaf-cutting ants and their ecological significance.
Thanks!
