Worker description: Major worker. Mesosoma in profile: dorsum of pronotum mostly flat with feeble anterior-lateral margins, mesonotum flat anteriorly and posteriorly with a convexity between, metanotum about 0.2 mm long, bounded anteriorly and posteriorly by fine troughs, propo-deal dorsum straight short, propodeal angle well rounded about 135°, declivity long mostly straight with slight central angle, PD / D ~ 5; dorsum of mesosoma with <5 long erect reddish setae, short decumbent setae very sparse; integument on side of mesonotum and propodeum, reticulate, side of head smooth glossy. Petiolar node: anterior face feebly convex, posterior face straight, summit sharp. Tibiae without distinct short setae, with> 10 erect spines on posterior surface; scapes with distinct short setae raised to 30°. Head: underside in lateral view with 0 to 3 long erect setae; erect setae sparse in frontal view; sides feebly convex, strongly tapering anteriorly; vertex straight; FCW <HW / 3; maximum head width at about eye centres; clypeus anterior margin projecting, crenate with 135° corners, feebly concave between. Colour: mostly black, legs lighter. Minor worker.
