Ressemble tellement au precedent, que l'on pourrait le regarder plutot comme sous-espece que comme espece distincte. Quoi qu'il en soit, la taille, l'absence des points-fossettes-et des poils dresses aux joues, ainsi que l'ecaillu etroite, biconvexe, a bord tranchant, caracterisent suffisamment cette Fourmi. La forme do la tete et du corselet sont a peu pres comme chez C. BertoloniiHNS.
