Crematogaster (Crematogaster) aegyptiaca Mayr

Type location Egypt (Cremastogaster aegyptiaca n. sp., Mayr, 1862: 765, worker) specimen in Vienna Museum - see below.
subspecies pharaonis (Crematogaster egyptiaca Mayr stirps pharonis n. st., Santschi, 1914a: 432, worker) from Egypt, Bir Hooker, J Dewiz - see below.
Worker and queen described (see Bolton, 1995) .

Mayr's (1862) description is at . Emery's (1877b) description of robusta is at . Santschi's (1914a) description of pharaonis is at . 

Note - the record of "Crematogaster aegyptiaca Mayr subsp. senegalensis var. robusta Emery" by Finzi (1939a) was not Cr. aegyptiaca but Crematogaster senegalensis possibly varying from the type form. Emery only ever described the sexual forms of robusta and in his 1915 paper cited by Finzi further confused the situation, as Emery listed "Crematogaster aegyptiaca senegalensis Rog.; var. robusta Emery; Nefasit, worker & queen" (Emery, 1915g: 4 & 10). The Antweb images of the robusta queen appear to be senegalensis and I have posted the montage there.

The original record was Crematogaster (Cr.) senegalensis robusta (Cremastogaster robusta n. sp., Emery, 1877b: 379, queen & male; Emery, 1915g: 10, worker) from Eritrea, Keren, Beccari.
Crematogaster (Cr.) turkanensis (Crematogaster (Acrocoelia) aegyptiaca Mayr v. turkanensis nov., Santschi, 1935b: 271, worker) from Kenya, Turkana Desert, Kalodeke. Santschi's (1935b) description of turkanensis is at .

Collingwood (1985, illustrated), for specimens from Saudi Arabia, had propodeal spines broadly dentate, less than 0.13 mm; gaster with superficial sculpture and coarse pubescence; body colour reddish-brown
