{Crematogaster pseudinermis}Viehmeyer's (1923) description is at {original description}. Finzi's (1939a) description of mullerianus is at {original description}.

 Santschi (1926b) reduced it to a variety of Crematogaster (Sph.) wellmani Forel 1909b, but later (Santschi, 1935a: 260) listed it again as a full species, with a record of findings at Mongede and Kunungu, in Zaïre, but without any comment to justify his decision.

{Crematogaster (Sph.) pseudinermis queen ??} The photomontage is of a queen from the Central Africa Republic, Dzanga-Sangha NP, Camp 3; collector Philippe Annoyer. This appears to match Viehmeyer's description and to be generally similar in colour, etc, to the cotype worker shown above.
