which he described darlingtoni. This species is quite 
variable in color in Western Australia, where it is a com- 
mon inhabitant of the sand plains paralleling the coast 
from Geraldton around to the country east of Esperance. 
Camponotus hartogi Forel 
Camponotus Hartogi Forel, 1902, Rev. Suisse ZooL, 10 : 
500, worker. Type loc. : Yarra Districts, Victoria, 
Australia. 
Camponotus (Myrmosaga) ferruginipes Crawley, 1922, 
Ent. Mon. Mag., (3) 8: 125, worker major. Type loc.: 
Healesville, Victoria. New Synonymy. 
The types of Crawley’s and Forel’s species come from 
the same general area to the east of Melbourne, and there 
seems little doubt that both descriptions apply to the 
same common species of black Camponotus with red legs 
found in this area by many collectors, including myself. 
The species occurs in and around the cool, rainy highlands 
of Victoria, New South Wales and southeastern Queens- 
land. It is abundant near the summit of Mt. Donna Buang 
(Brown) and on the Bogong High Plains (5600-6000 ft., 
F. E. Wilson leg.) in snow-gum and snow-grass woodland. 
Camponotus whitei Wheeler 
Camponotus (Myrmosphinctal) whitei Wheeler, 1915, 
Trans. R. Soc. S. Australia, 39 : 818, pi. 66, fig. 8, worker 
minor. Type loc. : Flat Rock Hole, Musgrave Ranges, 
S. Australia. 
Camponotus ( Myrmosaulus ) scutellus Clark, 1930, Proc. 
R. Soc. Victoria, Melbourne, (n.s.) 42: 123, fig. 1, nos. 
9, 10, workers maj., min. Type loc.: Tammin, W. 
Australia (by present selection). New Synonymy. 
Types of scutellus (mcz) compare well with a series 
of whitei determined by Wheeler, collected by A. M. Lea 
at Port Lincoln, South Australia. This curious little species 
ranges very widely in the arid and semiarid parts of the 
southern half of Australia. It is known from the Vic- 
torian mallee country (Sea Lake, leg. J. C. Goudie), from 
many parts of South and Western Australia, and from 
as far north as Alice Springs (Brown) in central Aus- 
tralia and Mullewa in Western Australia (W. M. Wheeler 
leg.).
