Description
Worker
Holotype. TL 2.9, HL 0.81, HW 0.64, CI 79, ML 0.31, MI 38, SL 0.42, SI 66, PW 0.35, AL 0.82. Mandible with a stout preapical tooth, the inner margin proximal of the tooth with a prominent cuticular lamella that is broadest near the tooth and tapers basally; maximum width of lamella less than half length of preapical tooth. With head in full-face view the dorsolateral margin with 2 short hairs (less than 0.20 X SL) that freely project laterally: one apicoscrobal, the other more posterior; these hairs not arising from tubercles. Cephalic dorsum with erect hairs present near occipital margin and with a single pair near highest point of vertex. Pronotal humeral hair filiform, simple. Pronotum with a single pair of short erect simple hairs on dorsum between the humeral pair, and a second more posterior pair on the dorsolateral margin. Mesonotum with 2-3 short erect pairs of hairs. Waist segments and first gastral tergite with sparse standing simple hairs that are similar to those on the promesonotum but slightly longer. Middle and hind tibiae and basitarsi without projecting long hairs. Dorsal surfaces of femora without erect hairs. Katepisternum mostly smooth but remainder of side reticulate-punctate; sculpture somewhat effaced centrally on metapleuron and side of propodeum. Disc of postpetiole finely reticulate-punctate to punctulate-shagreenate. Petiole node in dorsal view broader than long. In profile the node with a short but steep anterior face that is shorter than the shallowly convex dorsum.
