Nomenclature

 * . Camponotus macrocephalus Emery, 1894c: 169 (s.) BRAZIL (Mato Grosso, Santa Catarina), BOLIVIA.
 * Emery, 1920c: 36 (q.).
 * Combination in C. (Myrmamblys): Forel, 1912i: 90;
 * combination in C. (Pseudocolobopsis): Emery, 1920b: 259.
 * Status as species: Forel, 1895b: 141; Emery, 1896d 375 (in list); Emery, 1920c: 35; Emery, 1925b: 158; Borgmeier, 1927c: 154; Kempf, 1968b: 408; Kempf, 1972a: 64; Bolton, 1995b: 109; Wild, 2007b: 28; Guénard & Economo, 2015: 227.
 * Senior synonym of geralensis: Kempf, 1968b: 408; Kempf, 1972a: 64; Bolton, 1995b: 109.
 * Senior synonym of luederwaldti: Kempf, 1968b: 408; Kempf, 1972a: 64; Bolton, 1995b: 109.
 * [Note: discussion of validity of name is under geralensis.]
 * geralensis. Camponotus (Pseudocolobopsis) macrocephalus subsp. geralensis Emery, 1920c: 36 (s.w.q.) BRAZIL (Santa Catarina).
 * Subspecies of macrocephalus: Emery, 1925b: 158; Borgmeier, 1927c: 155; Eidmann, 1936b: 96; Santschi, 1939e: 329; Kusnezov, 1952d: 212.
 * Junior synonym of macrocephalus: Kempf, 1968b: 408; Kempf, 1972a: 64; Bolton, 1995b: 101.
 * [Note: geralensis was proposed as a replacement name for Camponotus macrocephalus Emery, 1894c: 169, by Shattuck & McArthur, 1995: 122, as both this name and Formica macrocephala Erichson, 1842: 259, were at that time together in Camponotus, and the junior name was a secondary homonym. As the two macrocephalus names now occupy different genera, the replacement name is redundant.]
 * luederwaldti. Camponotus (Pseudocolobopsis) luederwaldti Santschi, 1922c: 118 (s.w.) BRAZIL (São Paulo).
 * Status as species: Emery, 1925b: 158; Borgmeier, 1927c: 154.
