Crematogaster cubaensis

The type material was found "beneath a stone in the woods."

Identification
Longino (2003) - The small yellow Crematogaster on Cuba share the general habitus of Crematogaster minutissima from Florida. They differ in that the dorsal pilosity is more like Crematogaster flavomicrops, relatively short, scruffy-looking, and not in three differentiable rows (although humeral setae are longer than the rest). The pronotum is completely smooth and shining.
