Melophorus hirsutus (Hairy Furnace Ant)

The range of this species is unusual, as its main distribution is in the mountains and hills of the Great Dividing Range south of about Brisbane. North of Brisbane there are a few scattered records along the Great Dividing Range as far north as Cairns. States in which this ant occurs include ACT, NSW, QLD and Vic. There are no records for the NT, SA, Tas or WA. (Heterick et al. 2017)
