Abstract (from the source)
This name rests on a short comparative diagnosis only: the form is small and pale, the antennae have 15 segments with the third 1.5 times as long as the second, the head measures 1.27 to 1.39 mm to the labrum tip, 1.13 to 1.20 mm wide, and the pronotum 0.72 to 0.74 mm across. Because the original description of each caste is missing from the preserved text, none is summarized here. The species is recorded from Damenglong and Baka in Yunnan.
