<paragraph blockId="49.[189,1399,1433,1723]" pageId="49" pageNumber="50">Monomorphic. Scapes short, just reaching the median line of the head when laid back (SIL~0.49). Funicular segments wider than long, the subapical quadrate, apical two and a half times longer than wide. Head elongated (CI~79) with convex lateral sides and slightly widest at the middle; occipital line straight with rounded corners. Frontal carinae small, not surpassing the torulus and fused between the antennal sockets. Frontal ridges developed distally and projecting over the clypeus in frontal view. Long, sharp apical tooth followed by an 4–5 smaller denticles, sometimes very eroded. Clypeus reduced to a row of 5 small conical denticles below the antennal insertions and much smaller, almost invisible minute denticles laterally.</paragraph>
<paragraph blockId="49.[189,1399,1745,1923]" pageId="49" pageNumber="50">Propodeum and mesonotum weakly convex, propodeum flat; mesopropodeal suture clearly demarcated and visible both in lateral and dorsal views; mesonotum in dorsal view not forming a continuous surface with propodeum. Transverse mesopleural groove present. Mesometapleural suture present but very weak. Propodeal declivity flat; posterodorsal and posterolateral ridge absent.</paragraph>
<paragraph blockId="49.[189,1398,1945,2011]" pageId="49" pageNumber="50">Petiole sessile with anterolateral ridges present but very weak, anterodorsal, posterior and dorsolateral ridges absent. Petiolar dome low and rounded, subelliptical.</paragraph>
<paragraph blockId="50.[189,1398,197,301]" pageId="50" pageNumber="51">Postpetiole with anterior and posterior vertical faces and horizontal dorsal surface, antero and postero dorsal angles right and rounded. Subpetiolar process small, elliptical with a lamella varying in size from minute to clearly developed, facing anteriorly.</paragraph>
<paragraph blockId="50.[189,1399,322,463]" pageId="50" pageNumber="51">All body surfaces smooth and shining except for meso and metapleurae, petiole and postpetiole variable from alutaceus smooth in minima workers to the most common shagreenatereticulated; dorsal surfaces of petiole and postpetiole from smooth to weakly shagreenate; mandibles shagreened. Overall colour light brown with some individuals yellowish brown.</paragraph>
<paragraph blockId="50.[189,1399,485,663]" pageId="50" pageNumber="51">Whole body except propodeal dorsum covered with short from erect to decumbent small white setae. Dorsum of propodeum bare except for its anterior and posterior borders. The length of the longer setae as petiolar height; setae on dorsal surface of head directed upwards; lateral sides of head with erect setae; scapes with scattered decumbent to semierect setae, shorter than scape width. No pubescence noted.</paragraph>
