Mandibles dark brown to slightly lighter brown color than head. Scapes, dark brown to slightly lighter brown color than head, surpass the posterior margin by about the length of first 5 funicular segments; scapes with distinctly short pubescence. Pubescence covers entire mesosomal dorsum. Pronotum rise about 45° from anterior margin to dorsum; mesosoma elongate; dorsal face of propodeum gently rounded, with declivitous face of about the same length. Legs dark brown, but tarsi typically much lighter; tarsi typically become whiter towards the last tarsal segment in many specimens. Trochanters typically lighter brown than mesosoma; gaster dark brown as in the head and mesosoma, with white pubescence.
