Number of teeth on mandible decreases with reduced size, from a maximum of 7 in largest workers to a minimum of 5 in smallest examined; the most common dental count is 5. Entire head, including ventral surface, smooth and shining, with scattered small pits. Bulla of metapleural gland conspicuous, low, its apex widely separated from the base of the propodeal spiracle. Protibia ventrally with a conspicuous single stout spiniform seta, similar to those on the mesotibia, this seta located close to the apex on its outer surface, anterior to and opposite the large spur. Spiniform setae present dorsally on mesotibia, mesobasitarsus, metatibia and metabasitarsus, most sparse on the metatibia. Petiole in largest workers (HW ca 1.86) with length of the tergite in profile 0.73 x the height of the tergite at its mid-length; in the smallest workers (HW ca 0.80) the length of the tergite in profile is 1.15 x the height of the tergite at its mid-length. 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. Colour yellow to deep dull red; smaller workers usually lighter in colour than larger workers.
