Eyes located very close to the cephalic midlength (EP 0.96–1.08). Leading edge of scape with 1–2 projecting setae that are inclined toward the scape apex. In full-face view sides of head without projecting setae and in profile cephalic dorsum without standing setae. Cephalic dorsum between eyes without striolate ground sculpture between punctures, or at most with a small patch above each eye. In dorsal view the pronotum with a transverse carina anteriorly. Propodeal dorsum meets declivity through a blunt angle, without trace of a carina. Promesonotal suture weakly impressed; metanotal groove vestigial to absent. Mesosoma in dorsal view narrowest across mesonotum, broadest across propodeum. Density of punctate sculpture on pronotal and mesonotal dorsa about the same, without a very obvious reduction in density on the mesonotum. Pronotum with a single pair of setae close to the humeri; mesonotum and propodeum without setae. Mesopleuron without a transverse sulcus but area of katepisternum sculptured, of anepisternum smooth. Dorsal (outer) surfaces of mesotibiae and metatibiae without projecting setae. Dorsal surface of AII (petiole) meets anterior surface through an angle, but there is no transverse carina. Posteriorly the dorsum of AII lacks a sharp carina, but usually a weak ridge is present immediately above the foramen. In dorsal view the posterior corners of AII are rounded, without posteriorly or laterally projecting sharp angles or teeth. In dorsal view AII as long as broad to slightly longer than broad; AIII slightly longer than broad; AIV broader than long. Abdominal tergites from AII to AIV without setae, but setae sparsely present on sternite of AIII, and very obvious on sternite of AIV. Abdominal tergites AII to AIV sculptured only with small punctures. Full adult colour black, appendages and clypeus somewhat lighter.</paragraph>

, where standing setae are absent from the leading edges of the scapes, from the cephalic dorsum above the eyes and from the pronotal humeri, sites where they are usually present in the other species. In addition to this, setae are restricted to the posterior margins of the sternites of AIII and AIV, and the degree of projection of the frontal lobes beyond the level of the anterior clypeal margin is very pronounced. Of the final four,
