Description
Worker
Holotype. TL 3.9, HL 0.96, HW 0.75, CI 78, ML 0.90, MI 94, SL 0.90, SI 120, PW 0.39, AL 0.94. Cephalic dorsum with a single pair of erect simple hairs, close to the occipital margin. Flagellate hairs present: in apicoscrobal position; at pronotal humerus; a pair on mesonotum; 1-2 pairs on petiole and postpetiole. Other hairs on postpetiole and all hairs on first gastral tergite stiff and bristle-like, straight to shallowly curved. Ventral spongiform strip present on petiole. Mesopleuron, metapleuron and side of propodeum glassy smooth. Propodeal spines narrowly triangular but not elongate and slender, subtended by a narrow concave carina. Petiole node about as long as broad in dorsal view. Disc of postpetiole mostly or entirely smooth, never completely traversed by costulae nor densely reticulate-punctate. First gastral tergite smooth behind basigastral costulae.
Paratypes. TL 3.7-3.8, HL 0.92-0.94, HW 0.70-0.72, CI 74-78, ML 0.85-0.86, MI 90-92, SL 0.82-0.86, SI 117-119, PW 0.36-0.37, AL 0.89-0.91 (2 measured).
