0394A47F0F4F7468FF08FE4AFB37F918.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The stub of m-cu is longest in the holotype and varies in other specimens to very short; e. g., see BBM-PAL-P 000023 (Fig. 4 I, J) and Q- 0492 (Fig. 4 K). Specimens also vary in the presence of very short stubs of 1 r-rs in BBM-PAL-P 000019 (Fig. 4 D) and rs-m in BBM-PAL- P 000018 (Fig. 4 C) and BBM-PAL-P 000019 (Fig. 4 D). Hind wing venation is preserved only in the holotype (Fig. 1 C – E). This conforms to the type I hind wing venation of Cantone and Von Zuben (2019) by its well-developed 2 M and the 2 M’ s relationships with 1 M and rs-m (Fig. 1 E). This is unique within Formicinae (Perfilieva 2010), which we consider plesiomorphic, suggesting that Oecophyllini is sister to the rest of the subfamily. A jugal lobe may be present or absent in Cantone and Von Zuben’ s (2019) type I hind wings but is always absent in their type II; this cannot be evaluated in E. quilchenensis due to poor preservation. It is very different from their type III, which has very reduced venation. Specimens that we treat as males of Eoecophylla quilchenensis resemble those of Eoformica Cockerell in many ways, cf. the figures of Cockerell (1921, plate 8, fig. 11), Carpenter (1930, plate 2, fig. 6), Dlussky and Rasnitsyn (2003, figs. 26 – 34), and Lapolla and Greenwalt (2015, figs. 13 – 14). Eoformica was originally erected as a nominal genus by Cockerell (1921), although specimens assigned to it are so indistinctly preserved, have such a range of morphologies, and so are of such indeterminate affinities that it was later treated as a collective genus “ which includes poorly preserved wingless imprints of ants in which the waist is one-segmented and narrowly attached to the gaster and the gaster lacks a constriction between the first and second segments ” (Dlussky et al. 2009, p. 14). The Quilchena specimens, however, include many with wings, and the forewing of the allotype has some preserved venation, with Rs M, 2 r-rs, 5 Rs, and 4 M meeting to form an ×, 5 Rs curved towards the anterior margin, and the size and shape of cell 3 r all consistent with Oecophyllini. General character states of their bodies agree with males of Oecophylla. In addition, the association of these males at the small outcrop at Quilchena with queens bearing the same wing character states strengthens this determination. We suspect that once their wings are known, some ants currently assigned to the grab bag Eoformica might be recognised as Oecophylla or Eoecophylla males.	en	Archibald, S.

0394A47F0F457461FF08FA36FEBAFAA1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. When Steinbach (1967) published the genus name Camponotites Steinbach, his description was cursory, he provided no illustration, and he did not provide a diagnosis as required by the IZCN for names of nominal taxa published after 1930 (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 1999, ICZN article 13.1.1). The name was then unavailable. He also did not explicitly designate a type species as required by article 13.3, although Camponotites silvestris Steinbach is implied by monotypy. Unaware of this rather obscure paper, Dlussky (1981) separately erected Camponotites as a collective group, writing it in quotation marks throughout this work. He provided a diagnosis and description and designated a type species, although these cannot be done for a collective group by ICZN articles 13.3.2, 42.3.1, 66, and 67.14, where they are replaced by a definition. Although Dlussky’ s diagnosis did not distinguish the genus from others as would be necessary for a nominal taxon (article 13.1.1), it did function as a definition, which can be understood as (paraphrased from the Russian): those fossil ant species that possess the combination of wing character states listed by Dlussky distinctive of the formicine tribes Plagiolepidini, Camponotini, and Oecophyllini, but that cannot be assigned to any of these by preservation. This intention was made explicit by Dlussky and Rasnitsyn (1999, p. 548, and 2003, p. 413) and Dlussky et al. (2011, p. 455). When Dlussky et al. (2011) discovered the previous use of the name Camponotites by Steinbach, they considered it both a homonym and a synonym, transferring C. silvestris Steinbach to their collective genus, which they treated as Camponotites Steinbach. However, as “ Camponotites Steinbach ” was unavailable, the collective group is Camponotites Dlussky, which does not compete for priority with Steinbach’ s nominal genus name (ICZN article 23.7.2, and see article 67.14). Treatments of Camponotites by other authors following the above are discussed by Dlussky et al. (2011). With the transfer of “ Camponotites ” kraussei to Oecophylla, Camponotites consists of C. silvestris Steinbach, C. steinbachi Dlussky et al., and C. xiejiaheensis Hong. “ Camponotites ” macropterus Dlussky is now Oecophylla macroptera (Dlussky) (see Perfilieva 2015 and Perfilieva 2021).	en	Archibald, S.

This ant agrees with Oecophylla workers, including their characteristic elongate, low node; however, we cannot rule out that this is an Eoecophylla worker, which are unknown; therefore, we treat it as Oecophyllini sp. A. Although the workers of arboreal species are common in amber, all worker ants are rare in lacustrine shales due to taphonomic barriers to the transport of wingless insects to the depositional environment.	en	Archibald, S.
