Mandible triangular. Palp formula 3,2 to 4,3. Frontal lobe expanded, completely covering antennal insertions. Antennal club with three antennomeres. Antennal scrobe shallowly to deeply impressed. Eye well-developed to reduced, with clear limits between ommatidia. Propodeal spine absent to well-developed. Tarsal claw simple, without conspicuous preapical teeth (except in H. dolo and H. robusta ) nor a basal lobe. Petiole with or without posterodorsal projections. Anterior face of abdominal segment III with an arched carina above the helcium.

Fig. 4. Dorsal view of head,showing:A) Cephalic median longitudinal carina present, extending from the anterior clypeal margin to the vertex ( Acanthoponera minor —CASENT0178699); B) Cephalic median longitudinal carina not extending from the anterior clypeal margin to the vertex ( Ectatomma tuberculatum — CASENT0173380); C) Cephalic median longitudinal carina absent ( Holcoponera striatula —CASENT0173386).
