as long. Petiole in such workers often rather broad, with compressed, 
feebly notched superior border. 
Sculpture of the body somewhat finer and more superficial than in 
the typical fusca, so that the body is a little more shining. Moreover, 
it often has a faint metallic luster. 
Hairs and pubescence pale yellow or whitish, the hairs short, sparse 
and erect, as in the true fusca, the pubescence longer and denser, 
giving the body and especially the gaster a silky appearance. Legs 
and scapes with equally dense but shorter pubescence. 
Black; mandibles, antennae, tarsi, and articulations of legs dull 
red or brown. 
FEMALE. Length 8-10.5 mm. 
Large and stout. Like the worker in sculpture, pilosity, and color. 
Pubescence on the gaster even longer and more conspicuous. Legs 
more reddish. Wings uniformly and rather deeply infuscated. 
Mae. Length 9-10.5 mm. 
Resembling the male of the typical fusca, larger and more robust, 
with the pubescence, especially on the gaster, much longer and more 
abundant and the wings deeply infuscated as in the female. The 
shagreening of the body is coarse, so that the surface is rather opaque 
and even the gaster is only very slightly shining.
