Notes:
For most of the last two decades Camponotus atricolor has been considered as a junior synonym of Camponotus piceus . Seifert (1996) noted Camponotus atricolor as separate species, while Radchenko (1997b) considerd it as junior synonym of Camponotus piceus . Markó et al. (2006) revived this name from synonymy, but stressed that confirmation of the status of this species needs further investigation.
