 Weber's (1942a) description is at  .
WORKER (after Bernard, 1952) - TL 2.5 mm, yellow-brown,
scape length surpassing the posterior border of the head, eyes minimal
and placed at about the centre of the cheeks.
Clearly it differs from Pachycondyla
(Mesoponera) ambigua (lower), therefore, I have included it
here, but point out that its status as a Hypoponera is
unresolved.
Bolton (1995) does not list it under Hypoponera
but under Pachycondyla as an "unresolved junior secondary
homonym of Pachcondyla ambigua" adding "Combination in Pachycondyla:
Brown, new combination".
Presumably, from its inclusion in his key, Bernard was
satisfied its distribution included West Africa.
