Anterior clypeal margin medially impressed, often weakly so. Frontal carinae strongly developed, approaching corners of posterior head margin. Antennal scrobes well-developed, moderately deep, narrow, and without defined posterior margin; ventral margin moderately defined. Antennal scapes long, reaching posterior head margin (SI 101-104). Eyes small (OI 20). Mesosomal outline in profile flat to weakly convex, very weakly marginate from lateral to dorsal mesosoma, sides rounding smoothly onto the dorsum; promesonotal suture and metanotal groove absent; mesosoma comparatively stout and high (LMI 37-40). Propodeal spines long, spinose and acute (PSLI 35-38); propodeal lobes short, triangular, and rounded. Petiolar node in profile clublike with fairly rounded margins, approximately as long as high (LPeI 97-100), anterodorsal margin situated lower than posterodorsal margin, dorsum noticeably convex; node in dorsal view approximately 1.2 to 1.3 times longer than wide (DPeI 79-84). Postpetiole in profile globular, approximately 1.2 times higher than long (LPpI 81-85); in dorsal view around 1.1 to 1.3 times wider than long (DPpI 116-125). Postpetiole in profile appearing less voluminous than petiolar node, in dorsal view 1.2 to 1.3 times wider than petiolar node (PPI 122-128). Mandibles strongly striate; clypeus longitudinally rugose/rugulose, with three to four rugae/rugulae, median ruga always present and distinct, remaining rugae weaker; cephalic dorsum between frontal carinae reticulate-rugose to longitudinally rugose, posteriorly more reticulate-rugose and anteriorly more longitudinally rugose; lateral and ventral head mostly reticulate-rugose. Mesosoma dorsally mainly reticulate-rugose, laterally reticulate-rugose to longitudinally rugose. Forecoxae usually with weak to moderately developed longitudinal rugae/rugulae. Waist segments mainly longitudinally rugulose, less reticulate-rugulose. First gastral tergite unsculptured, smooth, and shining. Whole body covered with numerous, very long, fine standing hairs.
