Taxonomic Treatment (provided by Plazi)

Nylander, W., 1846:
Operaria: sordide rubida sparse flavo-pilosula, capite et abdomiue fusco-nigrescentibus, mandibulis autennisque pallide rufescentibus; capite, thorace et petiolo longitudinaliter striatim profunde exaratis; antennis scapo ad basin parum curvato; metanoti spinis longis.
Femina: sordide fusco-rubescens sparse flavido pilosula, capite et abdomine fusco-nigrescentibus, mandibulis antennisque sordide rufescentibus, pedibus ferrugiueo-pallescentibus; capite, thorace et petiolo profunde longitudinaliter striatim exaratis; antennis scapo ad basin parum curvato; metanoti spinis longis.
Ad Helsingfors hanc speciem passim inveni, sed sine dubio aeque late est diffusa ac affines, licet hucusque praetervisa. Feminam oviparam in nido loco lapidoso latitantem d. 26 Aug. 1845 inveni. Nihil adhuc de mare cognitum habeo.
[[ worker ]] Long. circ. 2 lin. Omnino similis praecedenti, tantum pallidior, antennarum scapis et nodis aliter formatis. Area frontalis obsoleta, striis percurrentibus. Laminas frontalis marginibus infra parum minus dilatatis. Antennas ad basin scapi parum curvatus, magis tarnen quam in M. laevinodi. Dentes metanoti fere longiores, subulati. Nodi longitudinaliter sulcati, sulcis rudibus sub-duodecim in utroque sat ordinatis (nec confusis ut in precedente).
[[ queen ]], Long. 2 1 / 2 lin. Similis iterum feminae praecedentis, iisdemque notis a [[ worker ]] ab [[ worker ]] ejusdem dignoscenda. Characteres capitis ut in [[ worker ]], Spinae metanoti longas snbulafae, obsolete curvatse. Nodi lateribus inprimis profunde longitrorsum ordinate sulcatis. (Alas desunt.)
