Worker
TL 2.1-2.4, HL 0.57-0.59, HW 0.36-0.38, CI 64-66, ML 0.09-0.10, MI 16-17, SL 0.30, SI 79-80, PW 0.24-0.26, AL 0.55-0.60 (2 measured). Mandible with a basal series of 5 narrow acutely triangular teeth that immediately follow the basal lamella, the latter partially exposed in full-face view even when the mandibles are fully closed. Distal of these are two smaller but similarly shaped teeth. There is no long secondary lamella on the masticatory margin, nor is there alternation of high acute with low rounded teeth. Anterior clypeal margin broadly and evenly rounded. Eye with 6 ommatidia in the longest row. Apicoscrobal hair short and stout, shallowly curved anteriorly and somewhat thickened apically, contrasting strongly with the pronotal humeral hair, which is extremely long fine and flagellate. Dorsal alitrunk smooth and shining, with only the faintest traces of superficial shagreening. Sides of pronotum smooth. Promesonotum without a median longitudinal carina. Propodeal spines long and narrowly acutely triangular; lamella of propodeal declivity reduced to a very narrow carina. Petiole node in dorsal view broader than long, entirely smooth or at most with extremely faint sculptural vestiges, the sides bordered with spongiform tissue from anterolateral to posterolateral angles.
