It differs from the holotype in its overall much lighter coloration (body light brownish yellow, the pronotal neck and mesonotum a shade darker than the rest), slightly thicker petiolar spine, and presence of numerous oblique hairs on the spine and cone (standing hairs completely lacking in holotype). Further collecting may show the Solomons form to rank as a distinct species. The single Solomons specimen has been deposited in the Museum of Comparative Zoology.</paragraph>
