A Guide to Camponotus Ants of South Australia

The SA Museum published in 1979 "A Guide to Ants of South Australia" by Dr John Greenslade, which for the next 20 years provided the only practical means of identifying ant genera in Australia. Archie McArthur now provides us with "A Guide to Camponotus Ants of South Australia". It provides the user with natural history of this fascinating group of ants, an excellent photographic (and scientific) key to identifying species. Its holistic approach will appeal to many walks of life, from those with no previous knowledge of ants to those in applied entomological or academic studies. In fact, Archie's guide-book will be one of the few practical sources to be able to identify ants to species and I am sure will be a very valuable addition to many field-workers for years to come. -- Marc Stevens
