Description
Small myrmycin ants. Body length is 4.3-4.4 mm, head length 1.09 mm (width 1.06-1.08). The posterior margin of the head is straight. The main body color is blackish-brown (except for the yellow scape of the antennae and legs). The antennae of females and workers are 12-segmented with a club of 3 segments (in males, the antennae are 13-segmented). They have 4 maxillary palps and 3 labial palps. Stinging grooves, with 6 teeth on the chewing edge. The head is massive, the posterior lateral edges are angular. Pronotum with lateral teeth on shoulder protrusions. The posterior breast is unarmed, without propodeal teeth or spines. The stalk between the breast and the abdomen consists of two segments: the petiolus and postpetiolus (the latter is clearly separated from the abdomen), the sting is developed, pupae are naked (without cocoon). The species was first described in 2013 by Austrian entomologists Herbert Zettel ( Herbert Zettel ; Naturhistorisches Museum Vienna , Vienna , Austria ) and Harald Bruckner [1] [2] .
