Thank you Kate Sandiford & Grant Wang for helping with the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere We can't be sure of this one as the holotype is very damaged. Of what's left of the holotype, this seems to match. We need to find a minor worker with a major worker and see if it keys to this species. Kate said the "minors are very small for Australian Camponotus". | |||||
