- Basal half of scape with slender bristles, shorter than or equal to scape diameter; if longer, only 1–3 bristles just on base of scape, no longer than 2.3x scape diameter. Variable on pedicel and fl.1 (
Figs. 5, 6, 8
)................................... 2
2 Bristles on posterior surface of fl.1 longer, about 2.5–4.5x fl.3 diameter (

- Bristles on fl.1 shorter, no longer than 0.8–2.0x fl.3 diameter; erect bristles on following flagellomeres shorter than fl.3 diameter, approximately of uniform length ............................................................................................................ 3
3 Erect bristles on apical half of scape scarce, shorter than or equal to those on basal half (
