With head in profile the dorsal outline above and behind the eye is more or less flat, or at most only extremely shallowly concave. With head in full-face view sides behind the eyes elongate, shallowly convex and weakly convergent posteriorly; posterior margin very shallowly concave, with a sharp occipital carina that is not raised into a translucent cuticular flange. Dorsum of head predominantly longitudinally rugulose, anastomoses absent or very sparse; posteriorly the rugulae decrease in strength. Spaces between the rugae finely reticulate-punctulate everywhere. Ventral surface of head with very weak, oblique transverse sculpture. Dorsum of mesosoma rugulose to reticulate-rugulose; spaces between the rugulae with weak punctulate ground-sculpture. Propodeal spines in profile variable in length (0.18-0.26) and degree of elevation. In the majority of specimens the spines short, stout and upcurved, with their ventral margins shallowly convex and dorsal margins shallowly concave; in others the spines are more or less straight. Propodeal declivity unsculptured. Side of mesosoma usually with scattered rugulae, but in some these are very reduced; superficial punctulae are present between the rugulae. Metafemur relatively short, MfL 1.28-1.58 (MfL/HW 1.70-1.83), relatively deep in posterior view, MfL/ MfH 4.60-5.10. Peduncle of petiole slender, more or less straight to extremely feebly downcurved in profile and with a small, dentiform anteroventral process. Subpetiolar process not followed by a cuticular crest along the mid-ventral surface of the peduncle. Petiole node in profile quite broad, bluntly rounded dorsally, not acute apically. Petiole node with very weak superficial punctulate sculpture, almost effaced in some. Postpetiole in profile shallowly convex dorsally, about 1.19-1.26 times longer than high; in dorsal view distinctly longer than broad; maximum dorsal width of postpetiole ca 0.34-0.43, about equal to its height. Dorsum of postpetiole node finely punctulate. Base of first gastral tergite usually with basigastral costulae effaced, but sometimes vestiges are visible; tergite otherwise unsculptured.

In terms of elevation the spine in profile varies from about 45° to almost vertical. At present this is not being treated as

, but the acquisition of more material may necessitate a re-examination. Whatever the elevation of the spine, most specimens have a propodeal spine length of 0.18-0.26. However, there is a single specimen in CASC, collected by P.S. Ward and with collection data noted below, which has a propodeal spine length of 0.38, well above the usual range. This specimen also has a slightly broader head (CI 74), slightly shorter scape (SI 145), deeper metafemur (MfL/MfH 5.50) and a broader postpetiole (length/height ratio 1.05) than is usual.
