| Type notes | All the synonymising authors give Camponotus sericeiventris as the senior synonym, but Camponotus cuneata properly had priority. Authors before Dalla Torre, 1893, gave no publication date for Camponotus sericeiventris, but Dalla Torre incorrectly dated it as 1830, and this incorrect date was copied by all the later synonymising authors listed below. Kempf, 1972b: 48, was the first to provide the correct publication date for Camponotus sericeiventris (1838), by which time Camponotus cuneata had become a nomen oblitum. Nevertheless, Diller, 1990: 69, designated a lectotype and 1 paralectotype from Perty material in ZSBS. |
| Notes | Nomen oblitum. |
