This species is distinguished from attelaboides by not having the head prolonged into a neck; it is also a broader and more robust insect; the metathorax is rugose above, not transversely striated as in the other species.
The worker of this species is in the British Museum; it is also from Demerara; it differs from the worker of attelaboides in not having the head prolonged into a neck; it is, however, proportionately larger than in that species.
