Identification
Worker (Tab. 7, Figs. 14-16): All shape ratios given below are given in the sequence arithmetic mean [minimum, maximum]. Small-sized, CS 650 [628, 665]. Head elongated CL/CW 1.160 [1.147, 1.182]. Postocular distance medium-sized, PoOc/CL 0.411 [0.409, 0.413]. Anteromedian clypeal excision wider than deep, ExCly/CS 4.38 [4.25, 4.58]%, ExClyW 8.38 [8.11, 8.82]%. The margin of clypeal excision forms a sharp cuticular edge being at same level as the adjacent clypeal surface. Sum of pubescence hairs and smaller setae protruding at a few micron across margin of clypeal excision low, nExCly 3.67 [3.0, 4.0]. Posterior margin of head in full face view not excavated, ExOcc/CS 0.0 [0.0, 0.0]%. Scape moderately elongated, SL/CS 0.991 [0.987, 0.994]. Minimum distance of the inner margins of antennal socket rings medium-sized, dAN 0.300 [0.297, 0.304]. Eye rather long, EL/CS 0.298 [0.295, 0.303]. Dorsal profile of mesonotum and of propodeum more strongly convex, metanotal depression rather deep, MGr/CS 2.57 [1.79, 3.62]%. Mesosoma relatively thickset, MW/CS 0.682 [0.658, 0.704], ML/CS 1.293 [1.263, 1.315]. Second funiculus segment short, Fu2L/CS 12.79 [12.60, 12.91]%, IFu2 1.357 [1.333, 1.380]. Head, mesosoma and gaster covered by a rather dense pubescence. Anterior margin of clypeus with few short standing setae. Remaining surface of head capsule and dorsal mesosoma without standing setae, such are present on mandibles and coxae. Head, mesosoma, gaster, antennal scape, femora and tibiae dark brown. Tarsae, metatarsae and funiculus segments pale yellowish brown.
