In profile clypeus virtually straight with very weakly impressed basal margin that is laterally indicated by a hairline break in cephalic sculpture. Frontal carinae sinuate, with laminate lobes. Frontal triangle indistinct. Sides of head weakly convex. Eyes moderately convex, in full face view usually breaking lateral cephalic outline. Mesosoma marginate along entire length; pronotal humeri armed with broadly-based, acute teeth that are laterally continuous with posteriorly converging, uninterrupted, pronotal margin. Promesonotal suture distinct; metanotal groove lacking dorsally, position marked by shallow emargination of lateral margins. Mesonotal margins posteriorly converging; propodeal margins subparallel, terminating in blunt processes that appear as minute teeth in profile. Propodeal dorsum descending abruptly into weakly concave propodeal declivity. Petiole scale-like, biconvex, with sharp dorsal margin, its apex higher than anterodorsal margin of first gastral segment; lateral petiolar spines directed outwards and slightly curved backwards from bases. First gastral segment concave medially, accommodating posterior face of petiole; anterodorsal margin not elevated above dorsal face of segment in lateral view, however, when viewed from behind, appearing somewhat medially produced.</paragraph>

are moderately convex and in full face view break the lateral outline of the head, if only marginally. The mesosomal dorsum is more slender and the pronotal humeri armed with broad-based, more anteriorly directed, acute teeth. The propodeal margins terminate posteriorly in blunt distinct processes that appear as minute teeth in profile. The anterodorsal margin of the first gastral segment is not raised above its dorsal face in lateral view but, viewed from behind, the margin appears medially produced. The legs, notably the proximal halves of the femora, and apices of antennal scapes are distinctly lighter reddish-yellow and the dorsal gastral pubescence is more golden. In contrast,

has distinctly flattened eyes that do not reach the lateral outline of the head in full face view. The mesosoma is somewhat wider posteriorly. The pronotal teeth are less produced, more angular and the greatest pronotal width is at its midlength. The lateral propodeal margins are only narrowly rounded posteriorly, not dentiform. The anterodorsal margin of the first gastral segment, when viewed from behind, is smoothly rounded, without any indication of a median process. The antennal scapes and femora are more-or-less uniformly medium to dark reddish-brown and the relatively abundant pubescence, including that of the gaster, is silvery or silvery-gray.
