Summary 
Two new silk nest weaving species, Camponotus texens and 
Camponotus gombaki, are described as members of the subgenus 
Karavaievia Emery 1925. The subgenus now consists of five species, 
which are probably all weaver ants. Additionally, a key to the spe- 
cies of Karavaievia is presented.
