Endemic of the southeastern part of the island of Madagascar (province of Toamasina , Ankerana Forest, Toamasina Parc National de Masoala; in forests up to 200 m) [1] .
The length of the workers is from 5 to about 1 cm ( soldiers ). It differs from closely related species in that the lateral margins of the mesonotum are convex and converging posteriorly, there are no distal hairs on the upper part of the chest, the upper and sloping surfaces of the propodeum are almost equal in length, dorsum of the head and mesonotum are net-punctured (as in C. edmondi , C. mifaka and C. orombe ), convex on both sides of the petiolar nodule, as well as morphometric proportions. The main body color is black, the antennae and legs are brown. Upper side edges of propodeum bordered or with sharp keel, propodeal concave surface, pronotum anterior side corners bordered, anterior coxae larger than the width of the mesopleuronum of the chest, propodeal dorsum sharply goes down to the junction with petiole. The triangular mandibles with 6 teeth, increasing in size towards the apex. Antennae 12-segmented and attached at some distance from the posterior edge of the clypeus. Maxillary palpi consist of 6 segments, and labial ones - of 4. Promesonotal suture is developed. The propodeal lobes and metapleural glands are absent. On the middle and hind tibia with one spur. The pedicle between the breast and the abdomen consists of one segment ( petiolus ), bearing a vertical scale. The sting is missing. The species was first described in 2016 by Jean- Claude Rakotonirina , Madagascar Biodiversity Center, Antananarivo , Madagascar and American entomologists Sandor Csősz and Brian Lee Fisher R. Christian Fisher ( Brian Lee Fisher chris chris chris) and American entomologists Sandor Csősz and Brian Lee Fisher G. Francisco , USA ). Included in the species group Camponotus edmondi [1] .
