In effect, the petiole tergite is higher than long in larger workers, longer than high in smaller workers. Mesosoma, petiole and gaster shiny, unsculptured except for setal pits and, in larger workers, some weak striation on the metapleuron. Pubescence almost absent, extremely sparse, short and inconspicuous except on pronotal collar, propleuron, and sternite of petiole.
