Camponotus (Myrmotrema) monardi Santschi

return to key {link to the Hymenoptera Name Server} Type location Angola (Camponotus (Myrmotrema) monardi  n. sp., Santschi, 1930b: 78, major worker) Planalto, Lobito, iii.1929; major worker only known (see Bolton, 1995) .

Santschi's (1930b) description is at {original description}. Close to Camponotus grandidieri.

{Camponotus monardi worker}The photomontage of the type major worker is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0911840
Note the median ocellus and wide petiole scale, suggestive of the queen of auropubens jacob but clearly not a queen rather a gynandromorph. Santschi (1930b) noted two of the specimens he saw had a median ocellus.
