With a fresh specimen from near the type location in Tanzania, I have separated Crematogaster rauana, originally described as a variety of gallicola by Forel (1907a: 22, worker) as a distinct species.

The photomontage of the type worker is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0908527.
Note - TL ca 2.3 mm, as described by Forel.

The photomontage of the latro type worker is collated from http://www.antweb.org/specimen.do?name=casent0908532.

This is some 25% larger overall, has a different shape to the fullface head and has short scapes.
