• Combination in Camponotus: Emery, 1895d: 337
• [Unresolved junior secondary homonym of Camponotus americanus Mayr, 1862 (Bolton, 1995b: 85).]
• Unidentifiable taxon; incertae sedis in Camponotus: Bolton, 1995b: 85
• [Note: Emery, 1895d: 337 and Wheeler, 1902g: 19, suspected this name was cognate with Camponotus marginatus. Emery, 1925d: 117 provisionally synonymised it with Camponotus minutus. Smith, 1951c: 845 and Smith, 1979: 1432, dubiously place it near Camponotus nearcticus.]
