Crematogaster cerasi is a species of ant in tribe Crematogastrini.[1] It was described by Asa Fitch in 1855.[1]
Crematogaster cerasi are identified by the long hairs found on their shoulder and dorsum. Unlike others from the genus Crematogaster, there are only 3-5 hairs on each of these areas. Ridges on the thoracic dorsal are also indicators of a Crematogaster cerasi. Ridges are short and discontinuous. The bodies of the ants are unicolored.
