Operaria: Clypeus carinatus, margine antico late arcuata, acuta, edentula. Mandibula; angusta, margine masticatorio mide obliquo, 5 - dentato. Oculi nulli. Laminae frontales breves, approximate. Antennas 12 - articulatae, clava 4 - articulatu. Thorax suturis distinctis. Pedunculus abdominis nodiformis, versus tertiam partem altitudinis superficiel abdominis anuas insertas. Pedes crassi, breves, articulo tarsorum primo tibia multo breviore; calcaria longe pectinata; unguicuti simplices.
Facies d'un Ponera , mais en differant par l'insertion du pedicule vers le tiers de la face anterieure du segment abdominal suivant, par les mandibules a bord masticateur fort oblique, par les antennes dont les quatre derniers articles forment une massue assez distincte. Les deux premiers de ces caracteres rapprochent ce genre de Trapeziopelta , dont il differe par l'epistome et les antennes. Les antennes a massue distincte se retrouvent chez Typhlomyrmex et Myopias ; ce dernier genre m'est inconnu en nature.
