Description
Worker
Holotype. TL 2.2, HL 0.59, HW 0.54, CI 9 1 , ML 0. 10, MI 17, SL 0.23, SI 43, PW 0.29, AL 0.60. Pronotal humeral hair and pair on mesonotum long and flagellate. Pronotum and mesonotum mostly or entirely smooth. Hairs on first gastral tergite long and fine, flexuous to subflagellate. Ventral surface of petiole peduncle with a small triangular lamellate process, located approximately below the level of the anterior face of the node. Petiole node in dorsal view slightly longer than broad, its dorsum not densely reticulate-punctate. Spongiform appendages of postpetiole moderately developed; in dorsal view width of one of the lateral lobes distinctly greater than one-quarter the width of the disc. Ventral spongiform lobe relatively large, attached along almost the entire length of the sternite and its maximum depth exceeding half the height of the segment. Basigastral costulae short but sharply defined and distinct; first gastral tergite otherwise smooth and unsculptured.
Paratypes. TL 2.0-2.2, HL 0.55-0.58, HW 0.48-0.54, CI 87-93, ML 0.10, MI 17-18, SL 0.20-0.24, SI 42-44, PW 0.26-0.30, AL 0.53-0.60 (2 measured).
Type Material
Holotype worker, Colombia: C'marca, Transecto Sumapaz, i.1983, 1700 m. (T. van der Hammen) (The Natural History Museum). Paratypes. 2 workers with same data as holotype (University of California, Davis).
