Head rugose anteriorly and reticulopunctate on the dorsum. Mesonotum and propodeum spiculate. Erect hairs coarse and abundant. Head with short frontal carinae, the clypeus slightly emarginate and with a slight medial carina. Propodeal spines relatively stout, blunt and curved laterally.
Petiole emarginate with paired obtuse teeth dorsolaterally.
Postpetiole shorter and broader than that of minor. Minor colour yellow-orange, shiny, with a transparent cuticle. Sculpturation only of spiculation on the propodeum, lateral mesonotum and the petiole. In Guinea it was very common around Mt. Nimba, with colonies on the crests at 1600 m. As was frequent with the systematics of Santschi, Bernard found workers and soldiers from one locality appearing to come from different races.
