Description
The ants in this genus are small and black in colour; workers measure 1.8 - 3 mm in length, the males at around 1.5 mm are smaller, and the queens are the largest, reaching 4 mm. The largest ants in the genus are the queens; Ochetellus sororis queens measure up to 4 mm. Ochetellus looks similar to Dolichoderus species, but they are relatively smaller and the petiole is narrow and dorsolaterally expanded. The head is also thinner than most Dolichoderinae ants. On the head, the occipital border either curves in or curves out, and no ocelli are present. The antennae consist of twelve segments. The mandibles each have six to eight teeth along with a large apical tooth.
