[[ worker ]]. Opaca, tenuissime pubescens, laete rufa, abdomine piceo, basi plerumque rufo-maculato, capite, thorace et petiolo confertim granulatis, abdomine supra subtilissime coriaceo, infra nitido, thorace inter mesonotum et metanotum fortius impresso. Long. 2, 7 — 3, 5 millim.

Operaria: Capo, torace e picciuolo di un bel rosso chiaro, densamente granulosi, opachi, antenne e piedi del medesimo colore, addome piceo, spesso macchiato di rosso alla base, superficialmente granuloso e opaco sulla parte dei suoi segmenti dorsali che rimane visibile quando 1 ' addome e contratto, levigato e lucente sulla faccia ventrale e sulla parte invaginata dei segmenti dorsali. Il capo e poco piu lungo che largo. Le mandibole striate, tridentate, con 1 ' apice nerastro. Le antenne sono lunghe e gracili, col 1. ° articolo del flagello lungo almeno quanto i due precedenti presi insieme. Il torace e fortemente impresso tra mesonoto e metanoto, questo obliquamente troncato indietro, inerme. I nodi del picciuolo sembrano quasi eguali, veduti da sopra, il primo un po' piu lungo e piu stretto dell' altro; veduto di fianco, il primo nodo e notevolmente piu elevato del secondo. Tutto il corpo e sparso di minutissimi peli; poche setole erette si trovano sui nodi e sull' addome.

Sciotel (Beccari); in gran numero.

Appartiene al gruppo africano dei M. subopacum , Salomonis e senegalense ; da tutti ben distinto per la colorazione e per 1 ' addome opaco.
