Crematogaster atkinsoni helveola Wheeler, 1919 junior synonym of current valid taxon Crematogaster pilosa Emery, 1895

Crematogaster atkinsoni var. helveola Wheeler, 1919h: 109 (w.q.m.) U.S.A. (Georgia). Nearctic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: lectotype worker (by designation of Ward & Blaimer, 2022: 922). Primary type locality: U.S.A.: Georgia, Okefenokee Swamp (J.C. Bradley). Primary type depository: MCZC. Primary type specimen: MCZ-ENT00020823 (lectotype). Secondary type information: Secondary type material: 2 paralectotype workers. Secondary type locality: same as for lectotype. Secondary type depository: AMNH, LACM, MCZC. Type notes: 1) Original queen and males of the Crematogaster atkinsoni helveola type series were incorrectly associated with the worker and were subsequently referred to Crematogaster ashmeadi by Creighton, 1950a: 206, Smith, 1979: 1377. 2) Ward & Blaimer, 2022: 922, cite 3 workers, 1 queen, 5 males as the original syntype series.

Lectotype designation: Ward & Blaimer, 2022: 922.
