. Head elongate (CI = 85.48–90.32), widest just posterior to eye; posterior margin weakly concave. Cephalic dorsum, sides, and vertex rugoreticulate. Cephalic interrugae smooth, shining to strongly shining. Anterior margin of clypeus weakly convex with medial tooth that continues as a medial carina on dorsum of clypeus, dorsal surface with several subparallel, longitudinal rugae. Mandible with seven teeth; mandibular dorsum coarsely rugose. Up to several moderately long, curved, bristle-like, yellowish hairs project from anterior margin of clypeus. Eyes small, MOD = 0.15–0.17x HL. In profile, eyes situated anterior to middle of head, OMD = 1.19–1.45x MOD; no hairs project from between ommatidia. Antennal scapes long (SI = 88.05–103.01), surpassing vertex by slightly less than length of basal funicular segment; entire scape with moderately coarse, longitudinal striae, dull. Basal flange of scape well-developed with carinate margin. Psammophore poorlydeveloped, consisting of numerous short to moderately long hairs (similar in length to slightly shorter than those on cephalic dorsum) scattered across ventral side of head.

Superior propodeal spines long, acuminate, bases not connected by well-defined keel, spines about the same length as distance between their bases. Inferior propodeal spines well-developed, acuminate, length similar to that of superior spines but with a wider base. Interrugae on mesosoma smooth, shining. Propodeal spiracles circular facing posterad. In profile, procoxae with very weak, irregular to discontinuous transverse rugae, weakly shining. Legs moderately coriarious, weakly shining.</paragraph>

In dorsal view, petiolar node elongate (length&gt;2.70x width), weakly convex posterad, nearly vertical near center, and concave anterad, anterior one-third narrowing to subangulate tip; posterior surface with moderately coarse transverse rugae, interrugae weakly to moderately granulate-punctate, weakly shining. Dorsum of postpetiole convex in profile, anterior margin curving gradually to meet helcium at a smooth, continuous angle; in dorsal view, nearly triangular, widest near posterior margin, narrowing to nearly straight anterior margin; dorsum weakly coriarious, shining to smooth and strongly shining.
