erect hairs absent
Erect hairs are absent on cephalic dorsum (above eye level), gastral tergites 1 and 2, and are often also present on the pronotum. Used in Antkey to separate Linepithema humile from Linepithema iniquum.
erect hairs long, fine and flexuous
erect hairs long, fine and flexuous
The erect hairs are long, fine and flexuous. They tend to bend anteriorly on the mesosoma and head, and posteriorly on the gaster. Used in Antkey to separate Camponotus atriceps from Camponotus planatus
