Abstract

A new species of the acrobat-ant genus Crematogaster, C. bonnieae, is described from the Western Ghats, India based on workers. The morphology of the new species is fairly distinguishable from other congeners by the following combination of characters: relatively large eyes; long antennal scapes, surpassing posterior head margin; propodeal spines reduced, tuberculate; 11-segmented antennae, and 3-segmented club. An identification key to the 33 Indian species/subspecies of Crematogaster is also provided.
