I'm pretty sure I keyed them out at some point. How do you know you have the same queens as those?
They are not M. kennedyi. It's a mix of M. kathjuli and a couple of undescribed species that seem to form either their own clade or some new complex within the kennedyi-romainei clade. Actual M. kennedyi has not been collected by hobbyists in California to my knowledge.
Those aren't even the ones that ReignofRage is referring to either. Those I have listed as Myrmecocystus sp.2. Many of these species queens look almost exactly the same.
So the mimicus yellow variety is correct?
Might not be. Many of these are really hard to ID to a specific species name. There's just so much that is still unknown and unorganized.
I believe Reign mentioned somewhere that Myrmecocystus in particular were rather difficult to key out and identify due to the amount of undescribed species.

Will you be able to catch any C. anthrax next year? I'd be interested in some queens if you're able to obtain some next season.

I probably won't. What I thought was C. anthrax was actually these (https://www.formicul....com/topic/115-). I haven't been able to ID them yet.

I just checked your journal on those, and I'm pretty sure they might be C. johnsoni. I have one that looks identical to the queen from the first post (hairy face, same overall shape and size) that Reign ID'ed as johnsoni. Shame you won't be able to collect any anthrax this year though. I wonder if I can get a couple up here in the Bay...
Edit: you can check out my pic of the johnsoni queen in my Camponotus journal to compare.
