Nomenclature
The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's Online Catalogue of the Ants of the World.
- ACROCOELIA [junior synonym of Crematogaster (Crematogaster)]
- Acrocoelia Mayr, 1853a: 147. Type-species: Acrocoelia ruficeps (junior synonym of Formica scutellaris), by subsequent designation of Wheeler, W.M. 1911f: 158.
- Acrocoelia junior synonym of Crematogaster: Mayr, 1863: 404; Wheeler, W.M. 1911f: 158; Wheeler, W.M. 1922a: 828.
- Acrocoelia revived from synonymy as subgenus of Crematogaster: Emery, 1922e: 140.
- Acrocoelia junior synonym of Crematogaster: Buren, 1959: 126.
- Acrocoelia revived from synonymy as genus: Soulié, 1964: 398.
- Acrocoelia junior synonym of Crematogaster: Brown, 1973b: 178; Blaimer 2012: 52. [The type-species of Acrocoelia and Crematogaster are synonymous, the generic synonymy is therefore absolute.]
