Collingwood (1985), describing incisa from Saudi Arabia, has - antennal scape only slightly longer than HW, overreaching occiput by less than a third of its length, head and gaster sculptured, dorsal hairs on alitrunk sparse, mainly restricted to pronotum or nil; petiole angles produced into long spines, which are longer than their intervening width; which makes the workers clearly distinct from the much more shining and simply dentate capensis. Also from Kenya (Wheeler, 1922).
