Soldier
(Figs 2–4, 7, 8, 10–12, 15, 16). Bimodal continuum in size. Major soldier (Figs 2–4, 7, 8). Head capsule sepia brown to blackish, in dorsal view somewhat triangular, very weakly constricted behind antennal sockets, with posterior margin roundly convex; dorsal outline (including nasus) in lateral view moderately concave; rostrum feebly bicolored, with apical 2/3 lighter and basal 1/3 darker. Mandible with short to long apical processes in dorsal view. Antenna with 14 segments, much paler than head capsule; 1st antennal segment darker than the following segments, which are uniformly colored; 3rd segment approximately 1.5 times as long as 4th; 5th slightly shorter than 4th; 6th–14th gradually shortening toward the apex. Pronotum in dorsal view paler than head capsule; anterior margin nearly straight; posterior margin weakly indented in the middle. Coxae pale brown to brown; femora pale brown to yellow; tibiae pale yellow. Abdominal tergites pale brown to dark sepia brown. Measurements and index (20 major soldiers from 10 colonies): HLN 2.30–2.71 mm; HL 1.57–1.62 mm; NL 0.72–0.77 mm; NL/HL 0.47–0.51; HWA 0.81–0.98 mm; HWP 1.87–1.92 mm; HH 1.22–1.32 mm; PL 0.37–0.40 mm; PW 0.75–0.78 mm.
Worker
(Figs 5, 6, 9, 13, 14, 17). Monomorphic but showing size variation. Worker (large-sized) (Figs 5, 6, 9). Blackish brown to blackish. Left mandible with apical tooth shorter than 1st marginal tooth; 3rd marginal moderately protruding from cutting edge; 4th completely hidden, scarcely visible behind molar prominence. Right mandible with posterior edge of 2nd marginal tooth nearly straight or weakly concave; the inner layer of molar plate very moderately convex; notch moderately developed. Antenna with 15 segments, whitish yellow; 1st and 2nd segments darker than the following segments; 3rd clearly longer than 4th; 4th longer than 5th, 6th–15th gradually shortening toward the apex.
Distribution
Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Java (new record), and Borneo.
