Comments. Toro & Chiappa (1989) made a relatively complete description of this species, making its separation from other species of the subgenus easy. Some additional morphological characters of both sexes can be found in Vivallo et al. (2002).

Diagnosis. Head and mesosoma blackish with light brown legs ( Figs. 9−12 View FIGURES 9 – 12 ). Metasoma dark brown with translucent light brown distal margins of terga and sterna ( Figs. 10 and 12 View FIGURES 9 – 12 ). Pilosity yellow, darker on legs. Female: fore and hind elaiospathes vestigial, with the combs formed by separate hairs ( Figs. 31 and 32 View FIGURES 29 – 34 ). Male: mandible long and slender, with the second tooth closer to the apical tooth than to the third tooth ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 9 – 12 ).

Type material. Holotype male ( AMNH / Toro Collection, not examined).

Type locality. Chile: I Tarapacá Region: La Tirana.
