Worker. Length 2.5-3 mm. 
Differing from the typical mihellis and the preceding variety 
in having the petiolar node distinctly longer in proportion to 
its width. The sculpture of the head, thorax and petiole is 
coarser and the postpetiole and base of the first gastric segment, 
though feebly shining, are longitudinally reticulate-rugulose. 
The color is dark brown, with the mandibles, antennae and legs 
brownish or reddish yellow. One specimen has the postpetiole 
and gaster paler and more reddish than the head and thorax.
