Description
Genus Crematogaster Lund, 1831
Crematogaster Lund, 1831:132.
Type-species: Formica scutellaris Olivier, 1791.
All castes have the postpetiole attached to the dorsum of the first gaster segment. In the worker the cordate gaster is frequently carried uptilted and most species discharge a defensive deterrent fluid from the apical orifice, the sting being weak and atrophied. The male has very short antennal scapes, not longer than the two following funiculus segments.
This is a genus with many hundreds of species spread over the tropics and subtropics with a few palaearctic species none of which are endemic in North Europe.
