The carapace, abdomen and legs of the females are covered in golden-yellowish hairs. They have been observed in proximity with the gold colour form of the ant species Polyrhachis armata. which they presumably mimic.
The body of the male is black to dark brown, and appears leathery in texture. Like the females, certain segments of the legs are covered by yellowish-golden setae.
