Stigmacros spinosa

Identification
Heterick (2009) - Stigmacros spinosa is variable in appearance, and WA material may include more than one species. A worker collected close to Eurardy Station, near Shark Bay, is yellow and more angulate in appearance compared with a reddish brown worker collected near Eucla. Another worker collected 60 km south of Kambalda varies again, and none of these ants quite matches the holotype (from NSW) held in the Melbourne Museum.
