Crematogaster (Crematogaster) gallicola Forel

return to key {link to the Hymenoptera Name Server}Type location Mozambique (Cremastogaster gallicola, n. spec., Forel, 1894b: 484, worker; Arnold, 1920a: 532, queen); subspecies latro (Forel, 1910f: 6, worker) from Botswana; worker & queen described (see Bolton, 1995) .

Forel's (1894b) description is at {original description}. Forel's (1907a) description of rauana is at {original description}. Forel's (1910f) description of latro is at {original description}. Arnold (1920a) gave an illustrated translation of the type and latro, this is at {original description}.

With a fresh specimen from near the type location in Tanzania, I have separated Crematogaster rauana, originally described as a variety of gallicola by Forel (1907a: 22, worker) as a distinct species.
