It can be distinguished from the latter by the following combination of characters: head roughly oval in shape; mandible with five well-developed teeth, eyes with 3-4 indistinct facets; fenestra in subpetiolar process oval in shape; propodeum and petiole with stronger punctures; petiolar node relatively low and narrow.
