Note: I have separated the smaller dark brown form, with longer propodeal spines, Crematogaster (Decacrema) costeboriensis, type location Ivory Coast, to the status of species.


Emery's (1899e) description is at {original description}. Santschi's (1919h) descriptions of flaviscapis, gallarum and costeboriensis are at {original description}. Santschi's (1926b) description of mandonbii is at {original description}. Menozzi's (1930b) description of the male is at {original description}.
Evidentially primarily an inhabiter of Acacia galls.
