Identification
Longino (2003) - A Crematogaster crinosa-complex species, C. uruguayensis requires further taxonomic study. There are two syntype workers of uruguayensis on a pin at NHMB, and I compared them to a syntype of Crematogaster sericea. They are a bit darker than the types of sericea, and the setal pattern on the fourth abdominal tergite is more like Crematogaster torosa than crinosa.
