• [Note: in both Cagniant, 1996b, and Cagniant, 1996c, the name ruber/rubra is referred to Forel, 1894. There is no ruber/rubra in any of Forel's publications of that year, only a "variété rouge", which does not constitute a formal taxonomic name. Corrected to Camponotus ruber Emery, 1925 by Cagniant, 2006: 194.]
