Santschi's (1910c) description is at {original description}.

Wheeler (1922) included a record from "West Africa" by Fulleborn.

Listed by Strickland (1951a) from Ghana, where Bolton (1970-71) listed it as one of the six most common carton-nesting Crematogaster species on cocoa (simply at CRIG or in Ghana is not clear) but noted, however, that it was a rare species. Later it was found on cocoa at Kade by Majer (1975), using pkd, apparently in one sample, when 1200 workers were found.

Bernard (1952) noted it as less well known, listed from Congo and Angola, where it made a nest of blackish carton. Several workers were found from savanna at Sérengbara, Guinea.
