Camponotus ocreatus Emery, 1893 valid

Camponotus maculatus subsp. ocreatus Emery, 1893k: 673 (s.w.) U.S.A. (California). Nearctic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: 1 syntype major worker, 2 syntype minor workers. Primary type locality: U.S.A.: California, Panamint Mts (T. Pergande). Primary type depository: MSNG. Type notes: Creighton, 1950a: 378, implies that syntypes are present in AMNH, MCZC, and USNM (as well as MSNG), but the first three are dubious as in the original description Emery states, “The colour of the 3 examples available to me (1 large, 2 medium…)”.
