"Worker. - Length 3 to 3.5 mm. Pale brown; thorax less sculptured than in the typical impressiceps HNS. Frontal groove deeply impressed. Stature less variable and smaller than in the typical form of the species and larger than in the variety longiscapa Stitz HNS, but the scape also extends beyond the occiput as in that variety." (Santschi)

Numerous specimens from Malela (type locality) and Kunga (Lang, Chapin, and J. Bequaert); those at Kunga found nesting in the hollow internodes of the myrmecophyte Cuviera species (Part IV); the specimens from Malela "living in a small carton nest, about 9 cm. long, fixed upon a stalk of Raphia."
