. Head elongate (CI = 92.44–94.31), widest just posterior to eye; posterior margin flat. Longitudinal rugae on cephalic dorsum fine and dense, slightly wavy; approximately 16–20 fine, 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, rugae converging between posterior margin of eye and vertex. Cephalic interrugae moderately granulate, weakly shining; vertex rugose. Anterior margin of clypeus moderately concave, dorsal surface with numerous fine, subparallel, longitudinal rugae; lateral lobe of clypeus lacking small lobe that projects from anterior margin of antennal fossa. Mandible with five teeth; mandibular dorsum coarsely rugose. Up to several moderately long, curved, bristle-like, yellow-brown to brownish hairs project from anterior margin of clypeus. MOD = 0.23x HL. In profile, eyes situated anterior to middle of head, OMD = 0.96–1.00x MOD. Antennal scapes moderately long (SI = 64.66–70.91), failing to reach vertex by approximately 2.0x length of basal funicular segment; entire scape strongly striate, dull. Basal flange of scape flattened, moderately well-developed with carinate margin. Psammophore poorly-developed, consisting of numerous very short hairs scattered across ventral side of head.

Dorsum of mesonotum with irregular transverse rugae, mesopleura with irregular rugae angling posterodorsally; dorsum of propodeum with wavy, transverse rugae that traverse anteroventrally. Propodeum with moderately long, bluntly tipped spines connected by well-defined keel; spine length approximately 0.5-0.6x distance between their bases. Inferior propodeal spines well-developed, acuminate, length approximately 0.6x that of superior spines, width at base greater than length of superior spines; inferior and superior spines connected by a weak ruga. Propodeal spiracles ovoid to circular facing posterad. Interrugae on mesosoma moderately granulate, weakly shining. Legs weakly coriarious, weakly shining.</paragraph>

In profile, petiolar node asymmetrical with anterior surface shorter than posterior surface, apex weakly rounded, anterior surface meeting peduncle at a right angle. In dorsal view, petiolar node longer than wide, widest near middle, narrowing to rounded anterior margin; maximal width of posterior surface slightly greater than distance between tips of superior propodeal spines; posterior surface and sides with weak transverse to oblique rugae, interrugae moderately granulate, weakly shining. Dorsum of postpetiole convex in profile; robust in dorsal view, widest at or near posterior margin, margins of posterior one-half mostly parallel, anterior one-half narrowing to broadly rounded anterior margin, maximal width greater than length, dorsum and sides moderately to strongly granulate-punctate, dull.
