Types. Holotype worker, Trial Bay , New South Wales (Australian National Insect Collec­ tion, examined). FIGURES 3, 4. Holotype worker of Peronomyrmex overbecki . Fig.3, head; Fig. 4, lateral view. Comments. A second specimen of this species was recently (November, 2003) col­ lected in Brisbane by Chris Burwell of the Queensland Museum (pers. comm.). He hand collected the specimen at night, apparently from a tree trunk (although the specific collect­ ing details were not recorded). This nocturnal habit, combined with its likely arboreal for­ aging and nesting, helps explain why these ants are so infrequently encountered. See below for notes on separating this species from the similar P. greavesi .
