{Crematogaster peringueyi}Emery's (1895h) description is at {original description}. Forel's (1914d) description of cacochyma is at {original description}. Forel (1915c) on gedeon wrote TL 3.7-4 mm, head and dorsal propodeum more clearly striate than the type of the race and even of the species; head wider than the type; Arnold (1920a: 509) gave an illustrated translation, this is at {original description}; his description of angustior is at {original description} and of other varieties at {original description}. Note - Arnold's statement fo the colour as "black" seems wrong - Emery wrote dark - the photograph of a cotype and the fresh specimens support that. Stitz's description of dentulata is on {original description}.
