Erect hairs are present sparsely on clypeus, head, alitrunk and on gaster tergites 2 to apex. Maxillary palps very short - 5 segmented. Head and scale deeply excised. Length: 4.0-6.5 mm. Queen: Brownish, brilliantly shining. Head and scale deeply excised. Rest as worker. Size very small relative to worker. Length: 5.0-6.0 mm. Male. Black. Mesonotum and gaster tergites with long hairs. Eyes bare. Head and mesonotum finely sculptured, scale and gaster distinctly shining. Maxillary palps very short. Head and scale broadly emarginate. Length: 5.5-6.5 mm. Distribution. Locally abundant on wet heathland and in forest mires.
