#305921 Camponotus as senior synonym of †Palaeosminthurus: Snelling, R.R. (pers. comm. to B. Bolton, 2004). [Synonymy remained unpublished at his death in 2008, but is accepted provisionally here.]

#305922 [Note (i): all subgenera were given as provisional junior synonyms of Camponotus by Brown, 1973b: 179-185. The list was repeated by Hölldobler & Wilson, 1990: 18, and Tang et al., 1995: 112, with all subgenera listed as junior synonyms. They reverted to subgeneric status in Brandão, 1991: 330 (Neotropical), Bolton, 1994: 50 (world), and Bolton, 2003: 113 (world). The entry of Myrmophyma and Thlipsepinotus under the synonymy of Camponotus by Taylor & Brown, 1985: 109, is not accepted as confirmation as not all taxa were included.]
#305923 [Note (ii): the subgeneric classification is retained here pending formal revision. While some subgenera appear monophyletic it is clear that several are patently artificial, including the largest subgenus, Camponotus (Tanaemyrmex).]
