Description
Worker media. Head distinctly longer than wide, very weakly narrowing towards the front, with rather convex sides, strongly rounded corners, and a weakly indented posterior margin. The clypeus with an extremely fine keel, but without a lobe, the anterior margin with a deep triangular cut in the middle. Eyes moderately big, flat, their hind edge reaches the last quarter of the head. The frontal area is small, triangular diagonally weak. The frontal ridges are somewhat widely separated in front, behind parallel, the frontal groove is distinct to the end of the frontal ridges. The scape extends over the back of the head by about a third of its length. The mandibles thick moderately curved with 5 small teeth. Thorax similar to chalceus but the pronotum is less flat on top, scarcely wider than long, on the plate even almost with a medium lengthwise impression and the shoulders more weakly rounded. Mesonotum longer, even a little longer than the pronotum, metanotum not bordered. The basal face of the epinotum is shallow over its whole surface. Upstanding covering of hair yellowish white, scattered thicker only on the front of the head; flat lying as well, scattered, white, the limbs with only the flat lying. The flexor surfaces of the tibia are without spines. Black, the apical half of the mandibles, the base of the scape reddish brown, the legs blackish brown, the outer ends of the femurs and trocanters brownish yellow. Worker minor. The form of the head is very similar, but the clypeus is keeled, neither protruding forward or indented. Mandibles less curved, narrow, the scape protruding over the back edge of the head by more than a third of its length. Declivity of the epinotum not convex, in profile forming a border with the dorsum; node forms a column, twice as broad as long. Front of the head not so blunt and without the accumulation of hair punctation. Length 4.2-6.2 mm. Trial Bay. Solitary foragers.
