• [Chthonolasius also described as new by Ruzsky, 1914a: 59.]
• [Note: the assumption by some authors (e.g. Emery, 1916b: 11; Wheeler, 1916o: 171 (in text); Donisthorpe, 1941f: 37; Donisthorpe, 1943g: 633), that Ruzsky nominated Formica flava Fabricius, 1782 as type-species is incorrect. Ruzsky, 1912: 630, included those species "with the appearance of the yellow Lasius (Lasius flavus D.G.) and its closely related species, and races (Lasius carniolicus, Lasius umbratus, Lasius myops, Lasius mixtus)". This is not a direct nomination of a type-species, nor is De Geer (= D.G.) the author of Lasius flavus (Bolton, 1995b: 24).]
• Chthonolasius: justified emendation of spelling by Ruzsky, 1914a: 59; Wheeler, 1916o: 170.
• Chthonolasius as junior synonym of Formicina: Wheeler, 1916o: 172; Emery, 1916b: 11; Emery, 1916a: 241.
• Chthonolasius as subgenus of Acanthomyops: Forel, 1916: 460; Donisthorpe, 1927c: 254; Donisthorpe, 1943g: 633.
• Chthonolasius as subgenus of Lasius: Ruzsky, 1912: 630; Ruzsky, 1914a: 59; Wheeler, 1922: 698; Emery, 1925d: 231; Wilson, 1955a: 13; subsequent authors; Bolton, 1995b: 24; Bolton, 2003: 97.
• Chthonolasius as junior synonym of Lasius: Brown, 1973b: 179 [provisional]; Hölldobler & Wilson, 1990: 18; Tang et al., 1995: 108; Boudinot et al., 2022: 135.
