Diagnosis.
Head in frontal view suboval, mandibles long, sickle-shaped, widely overlapping; mouth aperture narrow, toruli separated by shallow cleft; eyes large, its longest diameter slightly longer than malar space; antennae in female 15-segmented, with apical flagellomeres transverse and loosely articulated (submoniliform); antennae in males 14-segmented, filiform, flagellomere 1 not emarginated at base; scape cylindrical, curved; epomia strongly developed; notauli deep, slightly diverging posteriorly, radial cell short, slightly longer than marginal vein, propodeum transverse with strongly converging plicae; petiole cylindrical, longitudinally ribbed; gaster subovoid, pygidium as long as prepygidium; segments of prepy- gidium ring-like, loosely articulated; basal striation of macrotergite even, with indistinct medial furrow.
Variability.
The examined material shows no apparent variation.
