Colobopsis

This is currently a subgenus of Camponotus. Please see Camponotus for further information.

Wheeler in 1904 wrote the following in regard to Colobopsis:

Since 1889 Colobopsis has been used to include those species of Camponotus which have sharply truncated heads in the soldier caste....species in which the anterior truncated surface of the head in the major workers and the females is distinctly marginate and in which even the mandibles have a sharp external ridge separating an anterior from a latero-ventral face. In these species the head presents a peculiar sculpture consisting of umbilicate punctures.....and there is an absence of a cocoon in the pupal stages of all the phases.
