Quite robust, elongate, ca. 7.05 mm long; dorsal surface slightly convex; pronotum slightly convex in lateral view, with posterior margin convex; propleuron visible laterally (but difficult to describe); pro-mesonotal articulation slightly impressed, presence or absence of fusion uncertain; mesonotum indistinct (poorly preserved); mesopleuron distinct, ovoid, elongate towards insertion of third pair of legs; metanotal groove apparently well impressed; propodeum long, unarmed (without tooth), with dorsal surface convex, propodeal declivity without strong angle with dorsal surface, propodeal lobes apparently small. Legs not preserved.

In lateral view, longer than high, bell-shaped, anterior surface short, slightly concave, dorsal surface broadly rounded, posterior surface dorsally with a blunt tooth located near midlength (not an artefact of preservation since recorded in part and counterpart and not corresponding with petiolar collar visible just behind), subpetiolar process, if present, not visible, helcium clearly visible and strongly constricted between petiole and AIII.

When we refer to the mandibles, teeth designate sharp, acute cuticular structures along the masticatory margin of the mandible while tubercles refer to small, blunt structures/teeth along the masticatory margin of the mandible. The large eyes recorded in the genus are sufficient to rule out affinities with the majority of ant genera (extant and extinct). Some formicine genera also possess similar large eyes (
