Mandibles relatively short (MDI 65–67), longitudinally striate. Clypeus smooth, without median and lateral carinae. Face punctate to weakly punctate, grading to superficially sculptured or smooth near posterior head margin, punctures between antennal sockets and eyes may be overlain with faint malar carinae. Scapes moderately short (SI 117–122), when laid back surpassing posterior head margin by slightly more than length of tenth funicular segment, pilosity decumbent to suberect. Promesonotal outline in profile strongly convex, with a rounded angle between pronotal dorsum and long, relatively steep, posterior declivity. Metanotal groove shallow, with long weakly to superficially developed crossribs, interspaces between dorsal cross-ribs smooth and shiny, propodeum slightly shorter than high, in profile weakly convex. Promesonotum dorsally superficially punctate to smooth, with few faint to inconspicuous transverse rugulae, remainder of mesosoma weakly to superficially punctate with small smooth spot on anterior katepisternum. Propodeal spines short-acute, much shorter than distance between their bases (PSLI 13). Metafemur moderately short (FI 117–120), metatibia pilosity decumbent with longer suberect hairs on outer edge. Postpetiole almost 1.5 times longer than high (LPpI 147) and in dorsal view longer than wide (DPpI 86), petiole and postpetiole smooth. Gaster smooth and shiny. Standing hairs on mesosoma and metasoma moderately scarce, acute, slender, and moderately long, some bent anteriorly, subdecumbent to suberect. Shorter pilosity decumbent and slightly more abundant. Color dark orange to brown, mandibles and legs lighter.</paragraph>
