    Author: Wachkoo AA, Akbar SA.
    Journal: Biodivers Data J; 2016; (4):e10464. PubMed ID: 28174505.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The taxonomy of Camponotus ants in India is mostly based on the worker caste, described in about 96% of the known species (AntWeb 2016). However, nearly 48% of these ant species are only known from workers, with no record of sexual forms. To improve knowledge of Indian Camponotus, we here describe sexuals of Camponotus opaciventris Mayr 1879. NEW INFORMATION: The hitherto unknown sexuals of Camponotus opaciventris Mayr 1879 are described for the first time. Workers are redescribed and distribution of this ant species in Indian Western Himalaya is herewith detailed.
