Postocular distance large, PoOc/CL 0.459. Frons relatively narrow (FRS/CS 0.245); frontal carinae slightly diverging frontal of FRS level (FL/FR 1.063), caudal of FRS level parallel or slightly converging. Eye rather small, EYE/CS 0.240 and with scattered microsetae of 6–7 µm length. Scape very short, SL/CS 0.724. Metanotal depression shallow (MGr/CS 1.27 %). Propodeal spines short (SP/CS 0.120) and almost triangular in lateral view, their axis in profile deviating from longitudinal mesosomal axis by 25°, in dorsal view not diverging and their bases moderately wide (SPBA/CS 0.275). Petiole rather narrow and moderately high (PeW/CS 0.274, PeH/CS 0.334); in profile with a concave anterior face and semicircular dorsum; in dorsal view with an almost globular node, which is only slightly longer than wide. Postpetiole narrow and low (PpW/CS 0.427, PpH/CS 0.288); postpetiolar sternite anterolaterally with a rounded lobiform protrusion on each side which clearly elevates above the level of median surface of sternite; the surface of the sternite thus appearing deeply concave in frontal view. Postpetiole in dorsal view with a straight to slightly concave anterior margin and convex sides. Lateral parts of clypeus each with 2–3 rugulae, central part slightly carinulate-reticulate. Frontal laminae with weak microsculpture, consisting of an irregular mixture of microrugulate, foveolate and microreticulate elements. Whole vertex foveolate, mediad of the eyes with densely-arranged, flat-bottomed foveolae of 14–16 µm diameter. The largest foveolae show a well-demarcated but flat central tubercule of 6–8 µm diameter around the hair bases (Fig. 9). Whole surface of mesosoma foveolate-microreticulate; petiole strongly and postpetiolar tergite less strongly microreticulate. First gaster tergite with moderately long and dense pubescence (PLG/CS 6.89 %, sqPDG 3.86) and a more strongly developed microreticum, with the hair bases placed in microfoveolae of 4–6 µm diameter (Fig. 10). The microreticulum is an optical illusion in perpendicular view on the surface that is produced by the margins of roof-tile-like surface structures. Color: whole dorsum of gaster blackish brown and all remaining body parts yellowish or yellowish-brown.</paragraph>
