Camponotus weiserti

Only known from the type locality in Phang-nga Province, Thailand.

Identification
Minor worker: Body chiefly light reddishbrown; head somewhat darker; gaster ventrally infuscated. Pronotum with long standing setae. Trunk with dense microreticulation, matt; only pronotum with weaker sculpture, shiny. Clypeus basally shallowly emarginated. Flagellum of normal length, antennomere 7 about twice as long as wide. Dorsal outline of entire mesosoma slightly convex, of pronotum moderately convex, in front of propodeum with shallow depression.

Major worker unknown.

This species is similar to Camponotus sophiae from the same locality. It differs by a shinier, less reticulated pronotum, a normally long antennal flagellum, a concave dorsal outline between mesonotum and propodeum, and slightly shorter and less abundant standing setae. It differs from Camponotus concurrens by the only moderately convex pronotum (humped in minors of C. concurrens) and bearing long standing setae, and by the shallow depression in the anterior part of the propodeum.
