Camponotus piceus spissinodis africanus Santschi 1929

The name of this taxon is unavailable according to the provisions of the ICZN. A major and minor type worker, collected at Tanger / Morocco, are depicted in antweb.org under CASENTO911700 and CASENT0911701. They are clearly heterospecific from C. spissinodis and show a mesosomal shape and overall pigmentation similar to an average situation in C. lateralis . Yet, their head length and scape length indices are clearly higher than the upper extremes in any other species related to C. lateralis: CL/CW 1.25 = 1.15 and SL/ CS 1.25 = 1.051.
