Head black, except mandible testaceous; antenna brown; mesosoma black; metasoma brown; pro- and mesoleg testaceous; metaleg brown in holotype, testaceous in two further specimens from Madagascar, 19°08.31’S 44°49.41’E. Antenna filiform; antennomeres in following proportions: 8.5:5:5:5:5:5.5:5:5.5:5:7. Head shiny, punctate, unsculptured among punctures; vertex of head (ocellar triangle, temple and region behind lateral ocelli) dull and rugose; frontal line complete; occipital carina complete; POL = 5; OL = 3; OOL = 5; OPL = 1.5; TL = 3.
