This specimen matches exactly the original Santschi description and drawings of a dark brown specimen, also the photomontage shown above, with a block-like petiole (without any diagonal line), a quite strongly convex alitrunk and long propodeal spines, plus quite heavy open mesh reticulation and simple, whitish, quite long erect pilosity, forming a pubescence-like covering on the legs and antennae.
The petiole does not match the criterion emphasised by Bolton of "Petiole with a fine narrow ridge running transversely across the junction of the anterior and dorsal faces and continuing obliquely down the side of the node towards the posteroventral corner".

The photomontage is of a second worker from the Central African Republic.

The photomontage is of a worker from Cameroun; Awae II; collector A Fotso Kuate (fk tetramorium sp 1).

The photomontage is of a worker from Senegal; Katane; collector B Ndiaye (Katane X 2010).

Male as described and illustrated by Santschi (1910c).
