WORKER (drawn specimen from Nigeria) - TL 2.32 mm, HL 0.53, HW 0.47, SL 0.37, PW 0.31 (TL in Bolton, 1980, 2.2-2.3 mm; in my guide as Tetramorium species T²)
Colour golden yellow, with a shiny transparent cuticle. The only sculpturation is faint rugulation on the dorsum of the head. Erect hairs are sparse and very short. There is no margination of the alitrunk and all dorsolateral edges are rounded. Propodeal spines dentiform, obtusely triangular; metanotal lobes essentially absent. Petiole node with a sloping anterior face rounding into the posterodorsal face; postpetiole smoothly domed; subpetiolar tooth relatively large and obtusely triangular.

From Nigeria, I collected a single specimen from a cocoa tree in the Onipe block at CRIN (14.i.1975) (in Bolton, 1980).
