Camponotus (Myrmamblys) klugii Emery

return to key {link to the Hymenoptera Name Server} Type location South Africa (Camponotus Bedoti Emery, var. Klugii n. var., Emery, 1895h: 51, minor worker; raised to species Emery, 1925b: 121; from whence the placement in Myrmamblys, 5th Group simus) Cape Town, Simon; worker only described (see Bolton, 1995) .

{Camponotus (Myrmamblys) bedoti}Emery's (1895h) description is at {original description}. Arnold (1924: 699) gave a translation and notes on bedoti (from Borneo, Malaysia); these are at {original description}.
The bedoti description is at - Emery, C. 1893e. Voyage de MM. Bedot et Pictet dans l'Archipel Malais. Formicides de l'Archipel Malais. Rev. Suisse Zool. 1, 187-229 - {original description}.

{Camponotus klugii minor}The photomontage of the  type minor worker is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0905451

The propodeum profile is quite different from the other African Myrmamblys. If my diagnosis is correct, it appears similar, probably not identical, to the worker of Camponotus (Myrmosaga) mombassae.
