"F. exsecta is placed in the Formica exsecta group within the genus and is closely related to Formica exsectoides, and American species whose colonies form vast networks."

I can't tell. Is Formica exsectoides an American species, with "and" being a typo for "an"? Or are you trying to say that F. exsecta is related both to Formica exsectoides and to several large-colonied American species of ants?

Yes, "and" was a typo. Thanks for pointing it out. 80.255 00:48, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

You're welcome. I didn't know whether to fix it or not. Wiwaxia

[edit] Inappropriate page moving

This article should be moved back to Formica exsecta. The "common name" is not sufficiently well-used to merit the article's residence under it. The vast majority of people aware of this ant refer to it as Formica exsecta alone. It has various other "common" names too, which are as rarely used as "narrow headed ant". These common names (jncluding "narrow headed") should be mentioned and put on record, but one should not be given undue prominence by being to main namespace, lest wikipedia give a false impression of how this ant is known. 80.255 16:26, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I totally agree. Please move this article to Formica exsecta. 84.179.233.7 17:09, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
