Clypeus with strong median carina; other longitudinal carinae weak, indistinct; anterior margin entire.

Dorsum of mesosoma entirely sculptured; pronotum reticulate, with anterolateral corner angulate; entire mesonotum densely with longitudinal striae; in profile lateral face of mesosoma entirely sculptured; upper portion of mesopleuron rugose and lower portion densely punctate (sometimes punctation weak). Propodeum with longitudinally puncto-striate dorsum and transversely puncto-striate declivity, entirely mat, without transverse carinae between propodeal spines; propodeal spine short, apically blunt, only slightly longer than metapleural lobe. Petiolar node anteriorly sharply truncate; petiole and postpetiole entirely sculptured; ventre of petiolar peduncle superficially sculptured and weakly shiny; nodes of both petiole and postpetiole coarsely punctured. Gastral tergite 1 in basal 1/3 densely and minutely punctate or coriaceous, mat or weakly shiny. Antennal scape and mid- and hind-tibiae without erect hairs.

Distance between anterior eye margin and mandibular base as long as or slightly longer than major diameter of eye; in the queen, the distance much shorter than major eye diameter. Mesonotum coarsely rugoso-reticulate, rugae wavy and irregular; in the queen striae fine and regular.
