Do you live in the U.S? If so then I have to say those Camponotus look like C. vicinus.

Actually. I'm not sure if they're vicinus anymore. The majors and super majors look weird. I'm still going to leave my vicinus suggestion though.

Looks like a Myrmentoma species to me.
Species being kept:
Solenopsis "plebeius", Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus maritimus, Formica cf. subaenescens, Formica cf. aerata, Lasius cf. americanus, Lasius aphidicola, Lasius brevicornis, Lasius nr claviger, Nylanderia vividula, Temnothorax rudis and a Hypoponera sp.
Hoping to find this year:
Myrmecocystus, Liometopum occidentale, Camponotus essigi, Camponotus fragilis, Manica bradleyi, Formica perpilosa, Pheidole hyatti, and a Parasitic Formica sp.
People are stupid. It explains a lot...

Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.

These are definitely from the Myrmentoma subgenus. C. vicinus is from the Tanaemyrmex subgenus, whose workers are noticeably less compact, and have longer, more spindly limbs and antennae.

The original message from the guy I bought from does say it C. vicinus

I can say as well after observing some of my old vicinus pictures that it is NOT vicinus. As others have said, it is of the Myrmentoma subgenus. It'll be hard to get down to species level though.
