. The propodeum carination is highly variable, with area basalis petiolate to truncate, and area superomedia which greatly varies in length. Color also varies from lighter specimens with reduced brownish markings to darker ones with larger black spots on face, vertex, mesoscutum and propodeum. We furthermore observed two male groups with differently sized ocelli (
