Camponotus (Myrmaphaenus) trapeziceps var. innocens Forel
. Emery 1925: 156.
Both
C. innocens
and
C. trapeziceps
(w syntypes examined, MHNG) occur in Paraguay, but there is little justification for viewing these sympatric forms as conspecific. To my knowledge major workers of
C. innocens
have never been collected, but the minor of
C. innocens
has a markedly more slender head in full-face view than
C. trapeziceps
, a more elongate mesosoma, and thicker, longer pubescence on the head and mesosoma.
