Resurrected this 10 year old photo from my unpublished archives, not sure why I ignored it the first time. It's a Carebara queen ant in an underground nest chamber, with brood.

OK #ant boffins and #myrmecophiles. One of my #Canberra #Malaise trap records matches (100%) 9 other ants from further west in Canberra and a (private) record from #FrenchPolynesia (PF) identified as #Carebara tahitiensis: https://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Public_SearchTerms?query=BOLD:AAY6881
Which is more likely?
Carebara tahitiensis in Canberra
Carebara tahitiensis == an AU Carebara species
PF record is misidentified widespread species
No COI difference between two species
Contamination
PF location wrong
