Currently, seven species of Camponotus are known from Mongolia, with three belonging to the subgenus Camponotus and two belonging to each of the subgenera Myrmentoma and Tanaemyrmex. Two species, Camponotus (Myrmentoma) lameerei and C. (M.) quadrinotatus, are herein recorded as new to the Mongolian ant fauna. These species belong to the C. fallax group. The specimens of C. quadrinotatus from Mongolia well agreed with the Japanese specimens examined in structure, sculpture and pilosity, but had paler color pattern than in the latter. An identification key to the workers of the genus Camponotus known from Mongolia is provided. Currently, a total of 75 ant species are known from Mongolia
