Nomenclature
The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's Online Catalogue of the Ants of the World.
- carbonarius. Formica carbonaria Latreille, 1802c: 114, pl. 3, fig. 8 (w.) “Grand Indes”.
- Type-material: holotype (?) worker.
- [Note: no indication of number of specimens is given.]
- Type-locality: “Grand Indes”: (no further data) (Riche).
- [Note: all authors from Smith, F. 1858b: 16, have interpreted “Grand Indes” as India, but it may indicate the larger islands of the modern Malaysia + Indonesia.]
- Type-depository: unknown (perhaps MRSN or MNHN, but probably no longer in existence).
- Combination in Camponotus: Roger, 1863b: 2;
- subgenus indeterminate: Emery, 1925b: 171;
- combination in C. (Myrmepomis): Chapman & Capco, 1951: 235.
- Status as species: Smith, F. 1858b: 16; Roger, 1863b: 2; Mayr, 1863: 398; Smith, F. 1871a: 303; Dalla Torre, 1893: 223; Emery, 1893h: 2; Emery, 1896d: 377 (in list); Emery, 1925b: 171; Chapman & Capco, 1951: 235; Bolton, 1995b: 91.
