Habitat/Ecology. This species was collected from old or mature secondary forests, including abandoned plantation forest. The ants were sometimes found nesting in fallen rotting wood, logs or tree branches.

Remarks. This is the first record of the genus Lordomyrma in Singapore; unfortunately, we were unable to identify local specimens to known species at the time of writing. This species should be closely related to L. reticulata or L. azumai based on general habitus and strong rugulose-reticulate sculpture. It is most similar morphologically to L. idianale that was described from the Philippines, but with small nodules on the pronotal humeri amongst other more subtle differences.
