synonymy properly listed and justified is a further step 
toward the eventual fulfillment of a badly needed revision. 
Camponotus acvapimensis Mayr 
Camponotus acvapimensis Mayr, 1862, Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. 
Wien, 12 : 664, worker minor. Type loc. : Akwapim Mts., 
Gold Coast. 
Camponotus akwapimensis ( !) var. Poultoni Forel, 1913, 
Rev. Zool. Afr., 2 : 353, “female,” recte worker. Type 
loc. : Lagos, Nigeria. New Synonymy. 
Camponotus ( Myrmoturba ) acvapimensis, Wheeler, 1922, 
Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 45 : 948, with var. poultoni, 
p. 949; synonymy and bibliography. 
Camponotus (Myrmopyromis) flavosetosus Donisthorpe, 
1945, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (11)12: 271, soldier, worker. 
Type loc. : near Flabo Falls, 1200 feet, British Togoland. 
New Synonymy. 
This is one of the common ants in many parts of Equa- 
torial Africa. Variation at single localities, and even within 
colonies, extends to include Forel’s var. poultoni as he 
described it. I have examined a worker paratype of 
flavosetosus and found it an average acvapimensis example. 
Camponotus testaceipes (F. Smith)

med. , min. ; female. Type loc. : Margaret River, Western 
Australia ; nee C. ( Myrmo dado ecus ) sanctaefidei darling-

Camponotus (Myrmophyma) rottnesti Donisthorpe, 1941, 
Ent. Mon. Mag., 77 : 239, nom. pro C. ( Myrmophyma ) 
darlingtoni Wheeler, 1934. New Synonymy. 
Dr. E. 0. Wilson has kindly compared types of C. 
testaceipes in the British Museum with syntypes of C. 
darlingtoni (Margaret River series) sent to him from the 
Museum of Comparative Zoology; he judges them to be 
of the same species. This situation was previously thought 
to hold, even though Wheeler reported upon specimens he 
identified as the true C . testaceipes in the same paper in
