Abstract
New locality records and illustrations for five known species viz., Crematogaster biroi Mayr, 1897, C. contemta Mayr, 1879, C. dohrni artifex Mayr, 1879, C. rothneyi Mayr, 1879, and C. subnuda Mayr, 1879 are provided from India. These records expand the area of occurrence and distribution of these species in India. In addition, Crematogaster travancorensis Forel (1902) is redescribed based on the worker caste collected from Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh and Ri Bhoi, Meghalaya, India.
