. Humeral angles more pronounced in eastern material, less so in Western Australian material. Dorsal propodeal surface varying from angular with flat anterior and flat to weakly concave posterior sections to evenly convex. Petiolar node varying from relatively thin with a distinctly angular dorsum and weakly sculptured to relatively thick with a broadly rounded dorsum and heavily sculptured. Head always dark, body generally yellow-red, but sometimes dark red-brown and similar in colour to head. Gaster ranging from yellowish-red to red-black.

. This widespread species shows variation in a number of characters. The humeral angles are more pronounced in eastern material and less so in Western Australian material. The curvature of the dorsal propodeal surface varies from angular with flat anterior and flat to weakly concave posterior sections to evenly convex. However no obvious geographic pattern was detected for this variation and it appears to be intraspecific.

Based on gaster colour specimens can largely be divided into pale forms and dark forms. However, while dark forms are always distinct, the pale forms show considerable variation and some individuals approach the colour found in dark forms; no geographic pattern was found with all colour forms found in all areas. Additionally, the size and sculpturing pattern of the petiolar node varies considerably. In some specimens the node is relatively thin, with a distinctly angular dorsum and weak sculpturing. In other individuals the node is relatively thick with a broadly rounded dorsum and heavy sculpturing. As with the last character, no geographic pattern was noted and all forms occur in all regions.

of petiole, strongly suggesting that this variation is intraspecific rather than interspecific. Taken together, the variation in these characters is interpreted as supporting a single widespread and slightly variable species. However, it should be noted that there are relatively few specimens available for study, especially given the broad geographic range of this taxon, and this conclusions drawn here should be re-examined as additional material becomes available.
