Cryptopone
Emery, 1893
valid
feminine
- [Cryptopone also described as new by Emery, 1893h: 240.]
- [Type-species not Amblyopone testacea (now Stigmatomma testaceum ), unjustified subsequent designation by Emery, 1911e: 88; repeated by Wheeler, 1911g: 161; Wheeler, 1922: 780; Donisthorpe, 1943g: 636; Kempf, 1972b: 90; Taylor & Brown, 1985: 28.]
- [Note: it is apparent that Cryptopone testacea (based on a queen) and Cryptopone testacea (based on workers) are not congeneric. Wilson, 1958g: 360, stated that Cryptopone testacea is, “almost certainly not the species described by Emery as Cryptopone testacea … it is proposed that Amblyopone testacea [Cryptopone testacea ] be left for the time being as a nomen dubium, and the description by Emery, 1893a be accepted as the original one for Cryptopone testacea”.]
