Nomenclature

 * . Crematogaster (Atopogyne) luciae Forel, 1913b: 325 (q.) SIERRA LEONE.
 * Type-material: holotype (?) queen.
 * [Note: no indication of number of specimens is given.]
 * Type-locality: Sierra Leone (no further data) (by restriction of Wheeler, W.M. 1922a: 857).
 * [Note: this taxon is based on queen(s) originally described as C. concava Emery, 1899e: 482, from three localities; one in Cameroon, one in Democratic Republic of Congo, one in Sierra Leone. Forel’s 1913b: 325 statement implies that all queens were transferred to luciae, but as the first two were accompanied by workers (and described as concava), only the Sierra Leone isolate remains to constitute type-material of luciae.]
