Primary type locality: lectotype Madagascar: “Centre and south of centre of Madagascar” (no further data (Hildebrandt). Primary type depository: MHNG (lectotype).

Type notes 1) The original description does not mention a major worker, nor material collected by Camboué. 2) The Camboué specimen apparently derives from Forel, 1891c: 64, where Camponotus foersteri is incorrectly cited again as new; therefore the paralectotype designation is redundant.
