Mayr's (1907a) description is at  .Santschi's (1914d) description of cacozela
is at  .
Santschi (1915c) described cacozela as a larger
variety, which differs in the head being wider than long and with a
straight posterior border, slightly concave towards the occipitum.
Segments 5-7 of the funiculus as long or even longer than their width,
8 distinctly longer than wide. Variety pasithea was TL 3 mm;
colour dull red; head rust, a little obscured posteriorly; antenna and
tarsi yellow. Dorsum of thorax regularly and densely punctate, with the
overlying rugae found in the type and cacozela reduced on the
mesontoum. Three segments of the antennal club are slimmer and shorter
than in cacozela, with the penultimate segment only about
one-sixth longer than wide (one-third in cacozela) and near
twice as slender as the preceding, clearly more slender than long;
segments 2-7 wider than long. Specimens from Bas-Dahomey, Benin,
by Desanti, 1913.
The type images suggest that cacozela and pasithea are simple junior
synonyms. The first is some 10% larger but the intermediate location of
pasithea suggests
that cacozela may simply be a
large worker.
