Likely one of the Myrmentoma subgenus according to Dr. James Trager.

Pretty sure this was Camponotus quercicola based on where I found it. They are all over the place there, I just never knew because at the time I never went there after dark. I don't know of any other large black Camponotus anywhere around there.
