WORKER
Size and colour similar to natalensis; body and gaster often the same colour; the transverse rugae on the pronotum often more irregular. Base of gaster matt in its anterior fifth. Anterior of propodeal dorsum somewhat raised behind the metanotal groove so as to make it flat whereas in natalensis this dorsum is highly concave; anteriorly it has only a light border not a ridge; anterior and posterior faces of the petiole are symmetrical as in striata, but a little higher and larger; postpetiole as high as the petiole, almost as long basally and a little shorter on the summit as with natalensis.

Santschi also had two findings of workers from Mozambique.
