<paragraph id="DEC4701CF9E6A6380EA9FCADDA70201A" pageNumber="17">HOLOTYPE WORKER: TL 1.48, HL 0.50, HW 0.40, CI 80, SL 0.27, SI 68, PW 0.30, ML 0.16, PL 0.18, DPW 0.13, PWI 72, PPL 0.15, PPW 0.15, PPWI 100. Mandible outer margin straight, curved at apical tip. Masticatory margin with five teeth, decreasing in height from apex, distinct diastemata between basal three. Anterior clypeus angled down to central tip, median clypeus elevated to upper level of antennal insertions. Head rectangular, slightly tapering toward mandibles, median vertex concave. Eyes lateral, upper margin of eyes at mid-level of head. Antennae 11-segmented with distinct three-segmented club; first segment of club twice as large as previous, second segment of club 25% larger, and terminal antennal segment three times as large as previous. Frontal lobes small, not completely hiding torulus, stopping at insertions. Mesosoma nearly flat in profile, hint of metanotal groove, gently sloping at propodeal declivity but with small latero-dorsal corners. Propodeal lobes large, nearly halfway up declivity and extending posteriorly the same distance. Petiole (not including keel) cylindrical, anterior face of node nearly vertical, small tooth in profile at location of spiracle, then angled up to dorsal surface; tapered dorsally and ridged around posterior socket. Peduncle indistinct. Ventral petiolar keel large, constituting one third total petiolar height, dropping vertically at anterior, then sloping up at 60 degrees to point just anterior to postpetiolar insertion, lower extreme of keel with distinct, translucent area distinctly thinner than remainder of keel. Postpetiole lobular, anterior edge concave, with lip ventrally at petiolar juncture. Gaster elliptical, 80% covered by first tergite. Color: Most of head, mesosoma, petiole, postpetiole, gaster, forecoxae, and femora orange-brown; anterior mesepisternum and posterior dorsal petiole black; mandibles, clypeus and anterior head around mandibular insertions, and remainder of legs yellow-orange. Pilosity: Covered mostly in a mixture of long, fairly straight, standing hairs and short hairs curved back to the body surface. Clypeus with two long, straight hairs immediately below antennal insertions. Hairs on face shorter and more depressed than remainder of body, pointed toward vertical midline. Pilosity on dorsal mesosoma similar to head, low and curved toward center, but mixed with a few very long, standing hairs along the dorso-lateral edge. Hairs becoming fewer and longer on dorsal petiole and postpetiole. Lateral propodeum and mesepisternum hairless, as are lateral and anterior faces of petiole. Dorsal and ventral gaster with mixture of curved, short hairs and longer, straighter ones. Mandibles, antennae, lateral pronotum, and legs with short, curved hairs. Sculpturing: Head with fine striae among large punctures. Striations absent above median clypeus almost to vertex, punctures continuing to underside of head, but gena smooth, hairless, and glossy. Lateral mesosoma with hints of rugae toward anterior, but mostly covered in dense, deep punctures, even on declivity. Petiole similarly punctured, postpetiole with irregular rugae and punctures. Small smooth patches located in very center of dorsal pronotum, mesonotum, propodeum, and petiole. Gaster smooth.</paragraph>
