In full-face view, head subquadrate, longer than broad (CI 85–88). Mandibles weakly striate, shining and armed with five teeth: the apical-most well developed, followed by a less developed preapical tooth and three equally developed smaller teeth. Anterior clypeal margin entire and evenly rounded. Antennal scapes moderately long: when fully retracted, extending past the posterior margin of the head capsule by about the maximum width of the scape (SI 92–101). Antennae 12-segmented; antennal club of three segments, with the apical-most segment slightly longer than the preceding two in combination. Frontal carinae short, extending past the antennal toruli by about the maximum width of the antennal scape. Compound eyes moderately protruding past the lateral margins of the head capsule. Lateral margin of head evenly convex, forming a continuous arc from the posterior of the head to the mandibular insertions. Posterior head margin weakly convex, rounding evenly into the lateral margins.

Propodeal spiracle well developed, directed posterolaterally, and separated from the propodeal declivity by about two and a half spiracle diameters. Propodeal spines well developed and long (PSI 40–45), about one and a half times the length of the propodeal declivity, tapering evenly from the base, straight for most of their length but slightly upturned at the tips, and acute.

Stefan Cover noted that where the workers were foraging there was a similarly bicolored salticid spider present. This color scheme is apparently common among the arthropods of Hispaniola and montane Mesoamerica: for example, among the ant species
