Abstract (from the source)
Only the colour pattern of the soldier survives in the source: the head is orange-yellow with red-brown mandibles whose bases are a little paler, and the antennae, thoracic and abdominal tergites and legs are greyish yellow, the body being sparsely haired. No description of the head capsule, mandibular dentition, postmentum or pronotum is available, and the alate caste is not treated, so no further morphological summary can be given.
