Nomenclature

Worker
Differing from the typical haytianus in having the head slightly narrower behind, with distinctly longer and more slender antennal scapes and funiculi, and in the greater length of the petiolar spines, which are fully twice as long as those of haytianus. The coloration is also different, the head and thorax being darker and distinctly red as are also the tibiae. The transverse striation of the thorax, especially in the epinotal region, is distinctly coarser, the middle of the pronotum smoother and more shining.

Type Locality
