[Cremastogaster: incorrect subsequent spelling by Mayr, 1861: 74; Mayr, 1863a: 403; Roger, 1863b: 36; and many later authors.]
[Note (i): throughout this catalogue the original spelling Crematogaster is used, the incorrect subsequent spelling Cremastogaster is ignored. Discussions of spelling: Emery, 1912d: 272 (footnote); Wheeler, 1913a: 78; Donisthorpe, 1941f: 36; Buren, 1959: 125. The incorrect spelling is extremely common earlier, but persists as late as Baroni Urbani, 1974a: 233; Schembri & Collingwood, 1981: 430; Le Moli & Rosi, 1991: 30.]
[Note (ii): all subgenera were given as provisional junior synonyms of Crematogaster by Brown, 1973b: 179-185. The list was repeated by Hölldobler & Wilson, 1990: 13, with all subgenera listed as junior synonyms. They reverted to subgeneric status in Bolton, 1994: 50; Bolton, 1995b: 25. Subsequent modifications and revisions are recorded in Blaimer, 2012c: 52.]
[Note (iii): the spurious paper by Soulié & Dicko, 1965: 85, is ignored. This publication merely repeats, inaccurately, the Wheeler, 1922: 828 catalogue of Afrotopical Crematogaster, but treats the subgenera as genera; see catalogue of genus-group names.]
