Molti autori del passato trattavano japonicus come una sottospecie della Camponotus herculeanus settentrionale, e Yasumatsu e Brown riportarono forme intermedie nel 1951. Nel 1957 scoprirono che la maggior parte dei campioni si può classificare con chiarezza: japonicus è per lo più nera, con un corpo opaco e dalla scultura grossolana e peli lunghi e fitti sul gaster, mentre la herculeanus dell'Asia orientale ha un gaster più lucido con peli corti e spesso un po' di rosso su torace e zampe.
