Yess, always wanted Pheidole! Unfortunately where I live (British Columbia) there is only a few species, the only native one being Pheidole californica. Weird...you'd think the name would mean it comes from California. Maybe also found there?

Pheidole californica Mayr, 1870, described from California... They were named after the state - with the majority of P. californica records originating from California. Ants don't really believe in boarders...

They are definitely not really good about reading the literature.
