iv.
Crematogaster
kneri-
group
1. Petiole moderately to sharply flared, or suboval (
Figs 14
a, 16a)
2. Postpetiole globular, with at most weak posterior impression (
Figs 24, 25
).
3. Pronotum often with angular or tuberculate lateral margins (
Fig. 30
).
4. Mesonotum often postero-laterally angulate or denticulate (
Fig. 31
).
This group will probably contain a large part of the former subgenus
Sphaerocrema
, but this remains to be tested. At the moment the following species are assigned to this grouping:
C. kneri
Mayr
,
C. bequaerti
Forel
,
C. concava
Emery
,
C. luctans
Forel
and
C. chlorotica
Emery.
