• Combination in Lasius: Fabricius, 1804: 418.
• Status as species: Latreille, 1802a: 283; Fabricius, 1804: 418; Smith, 1858a: 15; Mayr, 1863a: 413; Smith, 1871a: 303; Chapman & Capco, 1951: 199.
• Unidentifiable to genus; incertae sedis in Formica: Bolton, 1995b: 193.
• [Note: Dalla Torre, 1893: 183, retains Formica conica in Lasius, which is certainly incorrect. Forel, 1905e: 161, suggests that it may be the male of Camponotus compressus. A modern review of the syntypes should at least be able to determine the genus.]
