I rewrote the United States Southwest key from the W. P. Mackay Revision of the New World Ants of the genus Camponotus for all the Southern California and Southwest people here. I find this is much easier to follow than the document. The file can be downloaded from this thread.

Note that some of the names in this key are not yet fromally published, e.g. C. "cavibregmus", but Dr. Mackay is workign on getting them into print, so, soon...

Ah... didn't realize that. I know it's also missing the other species in the Festinatus complex.
