Face strongly punctate, median part of clypeus weakly punctate, median carina conspicuous and short, lateral carinae well-developed. Punctures on malar area overlain by weak to irregular rugulae, ending at eye-level. Occipital carina narrow, medially conspicuously impressed, scapes relatively short (SI: 129), with decumbent pilosity. Promesonotal outline weakly convex in lateral view, subangulate towards posterior declivity. Mesonotal process flatly produced, angulate, declivity long and straight. Second mesonotal process more shallowly produced, similar in shape to first process, metanotal groove conspicuous and deep. Dorsopropodeum in lateral view distinctly declining towards propodeal declivity. Mesosoma strongly punctate except small superficially sculptured spot on posterior lateropronotum, punctures on anteropronotum overlain with weak and irregular transverse rugulae. Propodeal spines and metafemur moderately short (PSLI: 27, FI: 148), metatibia with decumbent pilosity. Petiole and postpetiole densely punctate dorsally, except anterodorsal surface of petiole ventrally punctate. Anterior half of first gastral tergite punctate, posterior half shagreened.
