Anterior clypeal margin with distinct median impression. Frontal carinae well-developed, ending shortly before posterior head margin. Antennal scrobes weak, shallow, and narrow. Antennal scapes short, not reaching posterior head margin (SI 7174). Eyes comparatively small (OI 22). Mesosomal outline in profile flat to weakly convex, moderately marginate from lateral to dorsal mesosoma; promesonotal suture absent; metanotal groove present but usually weakly developed; mesosoma comparatively stout and high (LMI 4144). Propodeum armed elongate-triangular to spinose spines (PSLI 2831); propodeal lobes short, triangular and acute. Petiolar node in profile rounded high nodiform, approximately 1.8 times higher than long (LPeI 5158), anterior and posterior faces approximately parallel, anterodorsal and posterodorsal angles at about same height, dorsum not tapering backwards posteriorly; node in dorsal view 1.2 to 1.4 times longer than wide (DPeI 120138). Postpetiole in profile approximately rounded, weakly anteroposteriorly compressed, approximately 1.3 to 1.4 times higher than long (LPpI 7175), in dorsal view 1.3 to 1.4 times wider than long (DPpI 131143). Postpetiole in profile approximately as voluminous as petiolar node, in dorsal view approximately 1.4 to 1.5 times wider than petiolar node (PPI 142152). Mandibles finely longitudinally rugulose; clypeus with distinct median longitudinal ruga and one to three weaker rugulae at each side; cephalic dorsum between frontal carinae with eight to ten moderately regularly arranged longitudinal rugae, most rugae running unbroken to posterior head margin; lateral and ventral head reticulate-rugose to longitudinally rugose, except mostly unsculptured scrobal area; ground sculpture on head faint. Mesosoma laterally and dorsally longitudinally rugose, often with cross-meshes and sometimes moderately irregular, but main direction of sculpture distinctly longitudinal. Petiolar node, postpetiole, and gaster completely unsculptured, smooth, and shining. All dorsal surfaces of body abundant, moderately long, erect pilosity. Head, mesosoma, waist segments, and gaster of uniform brown colour, mandibles, antennae, and legs yellow to very light brown.</paragraph>
