Crematogaster missouriensis
Emery, 1895
Missouri Acrobat Ant
Crematogaster missouriensis is a of acrobat ant in the Formicidae, native to North America. Like other members of the Crematogaster, it possesses a distinctive -shaped that can be raised over the when disturbed—a that gives acrobat ants their . The species was described by Emery in 1895 and is known from scattered observations across its range.

Identification
Distinguished from other Crematogaster by specific morphological features of the petiole and postpetiole segments, though precise diagnostic characters require examination. The -shaped and ability to elevate it over the body when alarmed are -level traits shared with all Crematogaster species.
Distribution
North America; specific range details are limited in available sources but the has been documented in the United States. The epithet 'missouriensis' suggests a type locality connection to Missouri.
Behavior
Exhibits the characteristic 'acrobatic' defensive posture of the , raising the over the and when disturbed.
