I mean it took 33 years before C. johnsoni got named, so it'll probably take quite a while.

Nice, didn't see that. 

 

Dr. Fisher brought it up offhand when we were discussing the changes in Laevigatus so wanted to share with the community.

Yes, I have seen this already. I think he was just giving some updated Camponotus information to you.

Nice to see my buddy Bob getting an ant named after him, however as I have said before I always look at a MacKay publication with some trepidation as he has produced some sloppy work in the past.
