Longitudinal rugae on cephalic dorsum prominent, occasionally weakly rugoreticulate especially near posterior margin; approximately 8–10 coarse, longitudinal rugae between frontal lobes; in full-face view, medial rugae not diverging toward posterior corners of head. In profile, area posterior to eyes rugose to moderately rugoreticulate, rugae not converging toward vertex. Cephalic interrugae moderately to strongly granulate, dull to weakly shining; vertex rugose. Anterior margin of clypeus moderately to strongly concave, dorsal surface with numerous subparallel, longitudinal rugae; lacking small lobe that projects dorsally from anterior margin of antennal fossa. Mandible with six teeth; mandibular dorsum coarsely rugose. Up to several moderately long, curved, bristle-like, yellow-brown to brownish hairs project from anterior margin of clypeus and basolateral margin of mandibles. MOD ranging from 0.20–0.25x HL. In profile, eyes situated anterior to middle of head, OMD = 0.80–1.19x MOD. Antennal scapes moderately long (SI = 66.67–85.09), failing to reach vertex by 1.0–1.5x length of basal funicular segment; entire scape with strong longitudinal striae, dull to weakly shining; basal flange of scape flattened and well-developed with carinate margin. Psammophore poorly-developed, consisting of short to medium-length hairs scattered across ventral side of head.

Dorsum of propodeum with wavy to irregular transverse rugae that traverse anteroventrally, becoming more irregular on sides. Superior propodeal spines moderately long, acuminate, connected by well-defined keel; spine length approximately 0.7– 0.8x distance between their bases. Inferior propodeal spines well-developed, acuminate, length approximately 0.5– 1.0x that of superior spines, base wider than length of superior spines; inferior and superior spines connected by weak crest.

In dorsal view, petiolar node longer than wide, widest near middle, narrowing to spatulate to rounded anterior margin; maximal width of posterior surface greater than distance between tips of superior propodeal spines; dorsum and sides strongly rugoreticulate to vermiculate, interrugae granulate, dull to weakly shining.

, as did all subsequent authors (see Gallardo, 1932; Kempf, 1972; Kusnezov, 1951). However, labels on all syntypes say, “Alta Gracia La Granja, Sierras de Córdoba”. Alta Gracia and La Granja are two small towns that are located approximately 75 km apart along the eastern side of the Sierras de Córdoba. Thus, the labels suggest that the type locality was somewhere between these two towns.
