Description
Worker minor. Length 7 mm. The head a little longer than the type, almost one quarter longer than wide. The scapes also longer and surpass the head by nearly half their length. The principal differences besides this are the pubescence extremely thin, short and sparse, and the erect pilosity which is very sparse on the body and none on the legs whereas it is quite abundant in cinereus also on the cheeks, (not on the limbs, which are quite devoid of it). All the rest is identical; the sides of the head are moderately compressed as in the type Sea Lake, Victoria.(Goudie)
