Monomorphic with little variation in size. Head in full face view subrectangular, slightly longer than wide, posterior margin with a weak median concavity, posterolateral corner of head roundly convex, lateral margin broadly convex. Eye with 13–17 ommatidia. Median portion of anterior clypeal margin broadly convex and lined with minute denticles. In profile, clypeus projected slightly forward from dorsal margin of head, almost entirely flat or straight. Antennal scape short, gradually swollen distally, reaching midlength of head when laid backwards. In profile, mesosoma box-shaped, subcylindrical, dorsal outline weakly convex, propodeal declivity shallowly concave. In dorsal view, mesosoma subrectangular, anterior pronotal margin strongly convex and rounded, posterior propodeal margin weakly concave. In profile, petiole inclined posteriorly, much longer than high, anterior rising margin weakly concave, forming a smooth continuous curve with rounded apical margin, junction between both margins indistinct; petiolar node bell-shaped, apex convex, posterior declivity roughly half as long and as steep as anterior rising margin. Petiole as high as and longer than postpetiole, dorsal margin of postpetiole broadly convex in profile view. In dorsal view, petiole elliptical in shape, about twice as broad as long in large workers, less broad and more oval in smaller workers; postpetiole globular and sub-oblong in shape, lateral margin rounded, wider than long, larger than petiole.
