which have workers with elongate heads and drawn-out yet not 
necklike occiput, but even these have as a rule bristly pilosity and 
their soldiers show a head shape completely different from that of 
branneri, Pseudocolobopsis and a few Myrmaphaenus. 
Following Emery’s logic in establishing avowedly artificial sub- 
generic cuts in order to handle with more ease the enormous wealth 
of species in Camponotus, branneri would certainly qualify for 
separate subgeneric rank. However, I prefer to leave it as an isolated, 
highly distinctive species with uncertain relationship to the already 
recognized subgenera.
