Morphological Features

Worker. Relatively large Tetramorium (HW 0.875–1.279 mm, WL 0.915–1.498 mm) with very well-developed, massively constructed heads (HW > 0.80 mm, usually exceeding 1.00 mm) equipped with strong mandibles. Anterior clypeal margin with a median notch or impression, often broad and deeply indented. Ventral face of head usually with J-shaped ammocheate hairs. Base of first gastral tergite always sculptured, even if weakly so. Some species have abundant hairs on dorsal surfaces of head and body, but lack erect hairs on dorsal surface of antennae, mesosoma, petiole, postpetiole, and first gastral tergite.
