Nomenclature
The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's Online Catalogue of the Ants of the World.
- EUCREMA [junior synonym of Crematogaster (Orthocrema)]
- Eucrema Santschi, 1918d: 182 [as subgenus of Crematogaster]. Type-species: Formica acuta, by original designation.
- Eucrema junior synonym of Crematogaster (Orthocrema): Blaimer 2012: 52.
- [Emery, 1919b: 62, Emery, 1922e: 137, Soulié, 1964: 389 and Soulié, 1965: 78 incorrectly treat Eucrema as a junior synonym of subgenus Crematogaster sensu stricto. This stems from Emery's (1912d: 272) unjustified subsequent designation of Formica acuta as type-species of Crematogaster; see above under that genus.]
