Crematogaster pauli EMERY 1901

Description

CREMATOGASTER PAULI EMERY, 1901

Crematogaster pauli Emery, 1901: 575, fig. A;

syntype workers, Salabanka, Sulawesi, Indonesia (MCSN, MHNG, examined).

Crematogaster pauli; Emery, 1922: 132 [Combination in C. (Orthocrema)].

Crematogaster pauli; Blaimer, 2012c: 55 [Combination in C. (Orthocrema)].

Comments: Examination of syntype workers in MCSN and MHNG reveals that C. pauli does not belong to the subgenus Orthocrema. Although this species has two-segmented antennal club, characteristic features include: anterolateral margins of clypeus protruded anteriorly; petiole without node-like process posteriorly in lateral view. These features are characteristic of the subgenus Crematogaster and we consider C. crassicornis to be referred to that subgenus.
