Identification
Hosoishi and Ogata (2016) - A member of the Crematogaster quadriruga group. We have not been able to examine the types of C. gavapiga. From the original description and key provided by Menozzi (1935), this species is close to Crematogaster bandarensis. He distinguished C. gavapiga from C. bandarensis by smooth and shining surface of dorsal mesosoma. However, some specimens in our collections of C. bandarensis have smooth and shining surface of dorsal mesosoma, suggesting that the character state seen in C. gavapiga is within the infraspecific variation of C. bandarensis. Taxonomic relationship with C. bandarensis will remain uncertain until type material can be examined.
