Queen
Wheeler (1904) - Length, 7.5 mm. The truncation of the face is much more concave than in Camponotus truncatus, and bordered by a distinct ridge, as in Camponotus rothneyi; but the portion of the clypeus situated behind the truncated surface is short, as in C. truncatus. The truncated surface forms rather accurately a semicircle, the diameter of which is in front. Borders of the clypeus feebly diverging behind. Frontal carinae very far apart, slightly sinuous. Head behind the truncation in the form of a short rectangle, a little broader in front than behind, much shorter than in C. truncatus and C. rothneyi, a little longer than broad. Eyes large, placed a little in front of the posterior third. Scapes hardly incrassated at the tip, rather slender, extending a little beyond the occiput. Joints of funiculus altogether cylindrical, not separated by constrictions. Thorax and petiole as in C. truncatus. Body narrow, elongated. Legs rather short; femora compressed.

Truncated surface of the head finely and rather irregularly reticulate, subopaque; the portion of the head immediately behind this region is finely and densely reticulate-punctate, rather opaque, with large and very abundant, scattered punctures. Occiput, vertex, and the remainder of the body shining, feebly shagreened. Pilosity and pubescence very sparse. Tibiae and tarsi without erect hairs.

Pale reddish yellow; legs and antennae yellow. Middle portions of the gastric segments largely clouded with brownish. Wings subhyaline; veins and stigma pale yellow.
