Measurements: Based on a single specimen collected with the 
workers: HL 0.59 mm; HW 0.47 mm; Cl 81; SL 0.44 mm; SI 
93; PW 0.36 mm; WL 0.75 mm; Mesosomal Index 48; Propodeal 
Spine L. 0.15 mm; Spl 20; Petiole L. 0.34 mm; Petiole Height 0.21 
mm; Petiolar Index 162; Postpetiole W. 0.29 mm; Postpetiole L. 
O.15 mm; Postpetiolar Index 52. 
Description : Ergatoid. General form as shown in Figures 4 and 5. 
Head with sides slightly divergent behind eyes, then strongly 
converging; posterior corners rounded; occipital border slightly 
concave. Scapes straight, their apices falling slightly short of the 
occipital border. Antennae 12-segmented. Funiculus and clypeus as in 
worker. Eyes strongly convex, maximum diameter 0.13 mm; their 
anterior edges at a distance of 0.7 X their diameter from the lateral 
genal border. Mandibles narrowly falcate, ending in a point. Frontal 
carinae more extensive than in the worker. 
Mesosoma high, in lateral view, with no promesonotal constriction, 
but with distinctly rounded humeral angles; mesometanotal im- 
pression and constriction clearly developed, but lacking an incised 
suture. Propodeal spines blunt; shorter and wider at base than in 
worker. Petiolar node and postpetiole dorsally, as in worker. Dorsal 
width of first gastric segment 2.0 X postpetiole width. 
Pro- and mesonotum strongly reticulate-punctate; rest of mesosoma, 
head, petiole, postpetiole and gaster moderately reticulate. Whole ant 
very shining. 
Yellowish pilosity on clypeus and posterior end of gaster. Yellowish 
adpressed pubescence very dense on antennae, pronotum, mesonotum, 
gaster, and dorsa of petiole and postpetiole. 
Entire body yellow. 
Genitalia: General form shown in Figures 6, 7, and 8. Basal ring 
entire ; the genital foramen inclined ventrally. Gonoforceps each with 
a lobate, hirsute ventrolateral subapical extension; a peculiar large 
ventrally directed curved tooth arising on the ventral part of the 
inner face (Figure 8). Volsella hook shaped, its apex directed 
ventrally, the base swollen with a small acute ventrally directed tooth 
(Figure 8). Penis valves rounded apically, each with a row of fine 
teeth on its ventral edge.
