Camponotus socius, the sandhill carpenter ant, is a large species of ant in the genus Camponotus.[1] It was first described by Julius Roger (1863), based on specimens from Brazil - however these can be considered highly dubious as the location where the type specimens were collected (Amazonas) does not fit the known ecology of the species within North America, where it exhibits traits typical of a native species. It is well adapted to the sandy soils of xeric woodlands found within the coastal plains of the southeastern United States.[2][3][4] Its range includes the US states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North and South Carolina and Mississippi.
