[[ worker ]]. Exemplaires assez grands (2, 3 mill.), se rapprochant un peu du dispertitus, Forel . La tete des I. humilis et dispertitus est fortement elargie derriere, et ces deux especes ont une pubescence distincte, tandis que chez l´ iniquus la tete est retrecie a l'occiput, a peine plus large derriere que devant, L´ iniquus est plus luisant, a peine pubescent et plus petit. Malgre tout, ces formos sont peu constantes; la forme du mesonotum et du metanotum varie. Le dispertitus n'est guere qu'une race intermediaire entre l´ iniquus et l´ humilis , race qui a plus ou moins la forme du thorax de l´ iniquus , tandis qu'elle a la-taille, la pubescence et la forme de la tete de l´ humilis .
