Worker
Holotype. TL 2.8, HL 0.81, HW 0.70, CI 86, ML 0.34, MI 42, SL 0.43, SI 61, PW 0.34, AL 0.72. With characters of koningsbergeri-complex. Preocular concavity forms an extensive shallow depression on ventral surface of head. Upper scrobe margins not constricted above eye, only outer arc of eye visible in full-face view. Edge of upper scrobe margin with a row of 5-6 broad-based small triangular teeth, margin with a distinctly jagged appearance (more strongly developed in larger than in smaller workers). Depression across posterior vertex of head broad but very shallow. Pronotum without a pair of short standing hairs close to anterodorsal margin. Pronotal humeral hair elongate, stiffly straight and simple. A single erect pair of hairs on mesonotum. Katepisternum mostly smooth, metapleuron usually with a small smooth patch. Bullae of femoral glands present on middle and hind legs, oval to long-ovate, usually conspicuous. Lamella on propodeal declivity conspicuous. Standing hairs on first gastral tergite simple or weakly expanded and flattened toward the apex.
