C–E). Head capsule, in dorsal view, with a conspicuous constriction a little before middle of head, considering from base of nasus to rear margin of head. Anterior part of head capsule, distal to constriction, about as broad as posterior part. Dorsal margin of head, in profile, with a slight hump at the base of nasus, followed by a weak depression. Pilosity following same pattern as major soldier but fewer decumbent bristles at head capsule vertex.

A–D). Two kinds of workers identifiable by morphology of mandibles, head capsule pigmentation, and profile of dorsal surface of head capsule: “minor darker workers” with broad gap mandibles, darker head capsule and dorsal surface of head capsule, in profile, with a concavity at front followed by a hump; and in other category “major lighter workers” with narrow gap mandibles characterized by lighter head capsule, and dorsal surface of head capsule convex in profile. Besides, in the category of “major lighter workers”, there are differences in head capsule size (see measurements). “Minor darker workers” with broad gap mandibles much less frequent than “major lighter workers” with narrow gap mandibles. Differences in head pilosity between “major lighter workers” with narrow gap mandibles and “minor darker workers” with broad gap workers as shown in

A–D. Head capsule of “major lighter workers” with scattered erect bristles and numerous hairs; postclypeus with bristles on anterior margin and two stout bristles plus hairs on surface. All workers, major and minor, in dorsal view, with lateral margins of head capsule nearly parallel or converging toward front, and posterior margin rounded; fontanelle region slightly depressed; postclypeus moderately inflated; antenna with 12 articles. Anterior lobe of pronotum more developed than posterior one; anterior margin of pronotum rounded, not emarginated. Tibial spurs 2:2:2. Digestive tube visible through abdominal wall. Pronotum with just a few short hairs on anterior and posterior margins; tergites with short hairs over surface and bristles on posterior margin.
