Camponotus ebeninus Emery 1869
According to a message of Maria Tavano of 16 October 2013 there are no type specimens in the Emery collection of MCSN Genova. Emery’s original description of this taxon, that was collected in the vicinity of Naples, indicates a black ant with a mesosomal shape and sculpture similar to Camponotus piceus . As other blackish species are not known so far from Italy and because nobody is currently able to present counter-evidence, I synonymize it with C. piceus .
