描述(Worker)Holotype. TL 5.6, HL 1.12, HWO.7 5, CI 67, SL 1.12, SI 149, PW 0.70, AL 1.80, ED 0.20, ML 0.55, PL 0.65, PH 0.60, DPW 0.42, LPI 92, DPI 64.
Head roughly rectangular, distinctly longer than broad. Occipital margin straight, occipital carina distinct. Occipital corners rounded. Lateral sides of head almost straight. Mandibles slender, inner margin without tooth, masticatory margin with only 1 apical tooth, basal corner rounded. Clypeus with sharp longitudinal central carina, anterior margin rounded, with a pair of denticles in the middle. Scape of antenna surpassed occipital corner by about 1/4 of its length. Segments of flagellum longer than broad, the 2nd and 3rd joints about equal. In profile view dorsum of pronotum feebly convex, mesonotum a little lower than pronotum, promesonotal suture distinct; metanotal groove depressed but not deep. Dorsum of propodeum slightly convex, about 3 times as long as declivity, declivity weakly convex. In profile view petiolar node trapezoid, declined forward to the anterior face, posterodorsal angle bluntly extruding, dorsal face evenly convex, posterior face straight. In dorsal view the node longer than broad, narrowed forward. Subpetiolar process small, nearly square, posteroventral corner acute. Constriction between the two basal gastral segments distinct. Mandibles smooth and shining, clypeus longitudinally striate. Scapes of antennae densely punctuate. Dorsum of head in front of the eyes densely punctuate, occipital border and occipital corners smooth. Dorsum of alitrunk, petiole and gaster smooth and shining. Mesopleura and lateral sides of propodeum irregularly rugose. Dorsum of head and body with abundant long erect hairs, short suberect hairs and decumbent pubescence. Scapes and tibiae with abundant subdecumbent hairs and dense pubescence. Head, alitrunk, petiole and gaster brownish red. Apex of antennae, legs and apex of gaster paler, yellowish red.
