High land species found in altitudes of 1400m and over where the turnover from woods to shrubs occur and open sunny environments are formed. easily distinguished from other fusca groups of South Korea by the locality but other features include:
-silky shining surface (shared only with hayashi)
-standing hairs abundant on gaster (only shared with candida. japonica and not lemani can also have some but not as many)
-few standing hairs on pronotum (shared with candida. the rest can have a hair or two but nt often)
-relatively shorter legs (compared to hayashi&japonica)
-small polygynous queens jet black and with out any pubescence (opposed to japonica&hayashi queens which are with worker like surfaces)
