Machado Herculani, Tomo III (1953) pág 105-124,
after a strong pitch for relating Australasia and Patagonia
acts via Bering Straits rather than Antarctica, he says
Campsotoma punctatus ad Acromyrmex lobicornis have
extraordinary adaptability and considerable versatility.
C.P. very common from N. Argentina to Chubut (Catar del,
Zapata) and "a form of this species is common in the
humid regions of Tucuman. It on the altitudes of the
NW the species lives above 4000m, "For this reason it
is strange that this species has not yet penetrated into
humid Patagonia." p123 Similarly in A.L., with the
difference that it has few local forms, it is found close
to humid Patagonia (Catar del), without penetrating
even to the Valle Aluminé, an unidentified form is in
missions with 200mm of rain. It has lost part of its
"afinidad hereditaria" in crossing the arid zone of the
interior of Argentina and is waiting for evolution to
equip it to enter the humid zone. He doesn't
list Acromyrmex for the Parques (N.H. y Zaving y)
Horvits and I saw a very large actus and heap yesterday
off the canyon, they were carrying dry stems, leaves, etc.
not green, and piled them in a 10-gallon bags.
It seems that this morning the fog (cloud) layer
formed + reformed many times at a level where
there were many cypress. Perhaps they are dependent
on summer fogs?
