This species is recognizable by a combination of the following characters. The lateral portions of the promesonotum are raised with respect to the median portion and end in postero-lateral carinate denticles. Lateral carinae border the metanotal groove. The petiole has postero-lateral tubercles dorsally that each bear a single, stiff and long erect seta; the postpetiole is distinctly bilobed and broadly medially impressed, and also bears a pair of dorso-posterior stiff, long erect setae. Further noteworthy are the short and straight spines, the erect pilosity on abdominal tergites 47, and the mandibles that possess only 4 teeth.

frequently collected this species nesting in dead twigs on and above the ground, in rotten logs, from leaf litter samples, and also found it occasionally nesting under stones or in stems of live plants. Carton nesting has not been recorded for this species. The absence of this behaviour is probably related to the drier habitat of this species, as rotting plant material here may simply lose moisture too quickly to be implemented in carton fabrication.
