This taxon is considered to be unidentifiable and its identity is uncertain. It was described from the Pamirs and reported to have a yellowish-reddish mesosoma and short oblique hairs on scapes and tibiae, with the hairs on scapes being sparser than on tibiae. It might possibly be related to one of the Himalayan species such as Lasius lawarai or Lasius wittmeri (Seifert, 2020; Boudinot et al., 2022).
