Diagnosis
Posterior margin of head in major workers emarginate, so that the back of the head is distinctly bilobed in full face view. Other characters: propodeal spiracle opening in majors larger and more conspicuous than in notabilis group majors; basal funicular segments in both castes tending to be relatively slender (width of the second and third funicular segments less than 25% greater than their average length in minor workers, and less than 50% in majors); hypostomal teeth invariably present in majors. Except in A. crassispina, dorsal surface of gaster with numerous scattered hairs.
