The ant species Colobopsis saundersi (Emery, 1889) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is still labeled as Camponotus saundersi in the GBIF database. Recently, the Camponotus subgenus Colobopsis was raised to proper genus level by Ward et al. (2016). The genus Colobopsis is included in GBIF.

Might be worth to check for other Colobopsis species as well, that are still included as Camponotus.
