Hosoishi, S. 2022. A new species of the ant genus Crematogaster from Vietnam (10.5109@6610222), Fig. 3.jpg

This species has so far been known only from the type locality. The type series was collected from Tam Dao National Park (21° 21'–42' N, 105° 23'–44' E; 1,000–1,240 m altitude) of northern Vietnam.

Identification

This species is similar to Crematogaster treubi in having the weakly developed occipital carinae, but can be distinguished by the deep metanotal groove, long metanotal gland bulla and globular postpetiole.
