Description
Worker Length 4-4.5mm The following distinguishes it from the type. Mandibles glossy, punctate with 6 teeth. Clypeus weakly keeled. The head is less trapeze shaped, with less sharp posterior corners and more convex posterior border, the sides less distinctly compressed. The eyes are not so close to the posterior border of the head, the distance between the eye and the posterior head is equal to the diameter of the eye. The pronotum is less sharply edged. The form of the thorax is similar, the epinotum has an edge at the top and in the posterior very much compressed with a sharp separation between the basal surface and the declivity where there is a rounded angle between them. The node is somewhat higher, also thinner, sharp at the summit. The sculpture is weaker; not punctate-reticulate, but shallower, striated transversely and glossy. Only the sides of the thorax are somewhat duller and punctate-rugose. Above all the limbs possess a much longer, in fact pointed, but rather coarse, completely upstanding covering of hair, while the evae type has only crooked upstanding hair. But opposite the inner surfaces of the limbs, evae has weaker and sharper spikes. Black, with mandibles and scape brown and reddish brown funiculus and palps. Broome (N W Australia)
