A new Camponotini in California. It seemingly has a very small range and highly specific habitat. The anterior portion of the head is deeply ulcerated and lined by a carinated ridge. The head is marked with fovae, coarse granulation, and some coarse, longitudinal grooves. It has been quite the adventure studying this species after my initial run-in with it a few years ago and figured it's time to share that it is present here in California.
