Mandibles with a triangular basal lamella with basal free side at least three times longer than anterior facing free side. Mandibles with six principle teeth, first three basal teeth are largest and about equal in length followed by three smaller teeth with tooth five being the longest and tooth six being the shortest. Principle teeth followed by five similarly sized blunt denticles and terminating with an elongated and acute apical tooth for a total tooth count of 12. Labrum with apical digitate lobes that curve ventrally. Clypeus with narrow peripheral groove; anterior border of ventral lamella of groove projecting further than dorsal lamella in full frontal view. Anterior border of clypeus broadly rounded between mandible insertions; lateral free margin weakly concave between lateral posterior corners to mandible insertion; 1.22 times broader than long. In profile posterior border of clypeus is abruptly raised above adjoining frontal area. Free margin of ocular carina is irregular in full frontal view. Head having expanded posterior-lateral corners located below midpoint of head in lateral view. Anterior and lateral dorsum of pronotum marginate. Pronotum slightly smaller in width (0.304) than mesosoma (0.390). Propodeal spines triangular and lamellate; about equal in length to maximum width of broadly convex free margin of declivitous lamella.

Setae on anterior margin of scape shallowly curved simple and acutely tipped with one or two setae curving towards the base of scape.

Dorsal and lateral spongiform appendages of petiole and postpetiole are reduce to weakly sculptured cuticular ridges or lamellae. Ventral lamella of petiole at most ¼ of the depth of the peduncle of petiole; translucent and weakly reticulopunctate along lowest portion; ending anteriorly as a well-defined short sharp tooth.
