Description
Worker
Holotype. TL 2.1, HL 0.57, HW 0.47, CI 82, ML 0.24, MI 42, SL 0.29, SI 62, PW 0.27, AL 0.55. With characters of ebbae-complex; answering the description of ebbae but differing in relative length of scape and relative width of head, and as follows. On mandible, length of preapical tooth is half or more of the width of the mandible at point where it arises. Inner margin of mandible proximal of preapical tooth shallowly convex. Inner margin of mandible distal of preapical tooth more strongly concave. Outer margin of mandible straight to very shallowly concave in median third of its length. Only extreme tip of eye visible in full-face view. Metapleuron and side of propodeum densely reticulate-punctate. Disc of postpetiole smooth and polished.
Paratypes. TL 2.0-2.1, HL 0.55-0.57, HW 0.46-0.47, CI 82-84, ML 0.24, MI 42-44, SL 0.28-0.29, SI 61-62, PW 0.24-0.27, AL 0.55-0.58 (3 measured).
