Crematogaster scutellaris
-group
1. Petiole moderately (
Fig. 14
a) to broadly flared (
Fig. 15
a), rarely suboval (
Fig. 18
a).
2. Postpetiole bilobed, with distinct median longitudinal impression (e.g.
Figs 14
b & 15b); rarely only with faint impression and postpetiole indistinctly bilobed (e.g.
Fig. 18
b).
Definitive members are:
C. scutellaris
Olivier
,
C. ionia
Forel
,
C. opaca
Mayr
,
C. isolata
Buren
,
C. marioni
Buren
,
C. coarctata
Mayr
,
C. lineolata
Say
,
C. pilosa
Emery. It
seems likely that all of the (non-
Orthocrema
) Nearctic and Palaearctic taxa belong to this clade, as well as a few members of the subgenus
Crematogaster
that have entered the margins of the northern Neotropics.
