The relatively abundant pilosity of variable lengths, and somewhat velvety appearance of the gastral pubescence are diagnostic. The head shape is cordate, but hard to discern here.

These could be confused, without these characters or indication of their larger size, with the infamous Linepithema humile, which does not occur in the Huachucas, but is the best known dolichoderine ant of the West.
