Head in full face view oval, with anteriorly converging sides and convex posterior border. Eyes moderately developed and convex. Mesosoma stout, immarginate, in profile more convex anteriorly than posteriorly. Pronotal teeth minute, their anterior edge perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body. Propodeal dorsum posterolaterally bearing a pair of weak ridges. Promesonotal suture visible, metanotal suture hardly so. Petiole with a median pair of moderately long, slightly diverging spines and a lateral pair of small teeth. In frontal (or posterior) view the space between the spines evenly shallowly concave. First gastral tergite anteriorly weakly concave.</paragraph>

Head, mesosoma and petiole mostly reticulatepunctate. A superimposed irregular rugosity occurs on the head (except clypeus), and a finer, mostly longitudinal irregular rugulosity on the mesosoma. Appendages finely reticulate-punctate and subopaque. Head and mesosoma feebly shining; gaster superficially sculptured and shining.</paragraph>

Longest hairs on scapes easily surpass maximum scape width, on the tibiae always shorter than maximum tibial width. Pubescence whitish, relatively dense, especially on mesosoma, petiole and gaster; shorter and more regularly arranged on the latter.</paragraph>
