Description
Definitely not M. bouvieri as it doesn't have "J" hair and has hairs on the petiole.
M. barbarus (rules out)
Trait that fits: Rounded mesosoma, doesn't form a clear angle.
Trait that does not fit: the frontal triangle isn’t smooth, so it rules out. The angle I suppose can be seen under a special angle.
M. capitatus (rules out)
Trait that fits: The frontal triangle inconspicuously sculptured. Sometimes it seems to be like in M. barbarus – smooth (check out the soldier https://www.hormigas.org/xEspecies/Messor%20capitatus.htm)
Trait that does not fit: Median clypeal costa does not run across the frontal triangle, angled mesosoma.
M. erwini
Trait that fits: At least the well-developed median clypeal costa runs across the frontal triangle from the base to the apex
Trait that does not fit: The frontal triangle conspicuously sculptured, angled mesosoma.
Photo of M. erwini with the same morphology as mine. (https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10210989700935181&set=pcb.10210989646693825). Although there is no clear angle in my ant, the angled mesosoma can be just a question of a perspective and it is not super visible in general.
I decided to follow the “median clypeal costa” trait and additionally asked an autor of the photo about who gave him the species (still waiting).

Description
This gorgeous ant is from Hispaniola, I was not planning on ulploading it in this platform just yet because I'm almost a 100% sure it is a new species and won't be a surprise for me if it's endemic, but I'm making the observation because I really want and need the help of someone willing to help me describe it. I already talked to an PhD specialists but he couldn't help me because of the complexity of the genus (Camponotus) due to it's size. I don't know anything about describing a species and I've never done a publication of any kind, I have written some papers as final projects for my subjects, I'm just a Biology student and I'm only halfway through the career and would love to have an ant description as my first paper even as an coauthor. If you speak or understand a little bit of spanish would be great but not a requirement, it's just that I would love the description to be in spanish.
I collected three specimens wich are deposited in the entomological collection of the Instituto de Investigaciones Botánicas y Zoológicas (UASD) wich has more specimens that somehow went unnoticed by the local specialists.
