NEW SYNONYMY
The small yellow
Crematogaster
on Cuba share the general habitus of
minutissima
from Florida. They differ in that the dorsal pilosity is more like
C. flavomicrops
, relatively short, scruffy-looking, and not in three differentiable rows (although humeral setae are longer than the rest). The pronotum is completely smooth and shining.
