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.
Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies.
However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:
Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

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.
