Abstract (from the source)
Only the figure captions for this species have been preserved, listing the soldier head in dorsal and lateral view together with the mandible, labrum, antenna, postmentum and the pronotum in dorsal and lateral aspect. The descriptive text itself is absent from the source, so no characters of colour, pilosity or proportions can be reported, and no caste account is given here. The species is known from a single locality, Kangping in Jiangcheng, Yunnan, at about 920 metres.
