Head sublucid, densely but finely punctulate, the punctures separated by one to several diameters, the interspaces smooth and shiny, or (towards vertex) finely coriarious. Standing pilosity scattered on head, mesosoma (MSC 11), and gaster, short and sparse on petiole, postpetiole, and fourth abdominal (first gastric) tergite. Uniformly light orange-brown.
