Nigeria specimens (Taylor, 1978: 31): WORKER. TL 1.32 mm, HL 0.39, HW 0.31, SL 0.36, PW 0.22
Overall colour yellow-orange, shiny. Very fine, dense pubescence on head, alitrunk and gaster. Erect hairs sparse especially on the head; alitrunk with a single main line of four pairs of hairs. Promesonotal and metanotal sutures distinct. In profile alitrunk more or less smoothly curved, but flatter medially.
Nests were seen in soil at the base of a cocoa tree, and in dead wood on a living tree at the Cocoa Research Institute, Idi Ayunre. Found foraging on the ground and occasionally on cocoa, where it will build tents over aphids.
