This history item belongs to Cryptopone Emery, 1893

Its current taxon owner(s) is Cryptopone

[Note: it is apparent that Cryptopone testacea Motschoulsky, 1863 (based on a queen) and Cryptopone testacea Emery, 1893a (based on workers) are not congeneric. Wilson, 1958g: 360, stated that Cryptopone testacea Motschoulsky, 1863 is, “almost certainly not the species described by Emery as Cryptopone testacea Emery, 1893a… it is proposed that Amblyopone testacea Motschoulsky, 1863 [Cryptopone testacea Motschoulsky, 1863] 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”.]
