Literature. Forel (1912), Viehmeyer (1916), Overbeck (1924) [all as C. wroughtonii quadraticeps]. Seifert (2003).

Habitat/Ecology. This species was found in both mature native-dominated, and young waste woodland secondary forests in Singapore, also in gardens. Some specimens were collected on tree trunks.

Remarks. Cardiocondyla wroughtonii is a recognized global tramp species that can thrive in a range of habitats including degraded vegetation in urban or semi-urban settings. Thus, it is highly possible that actual species distribution in Singapore might be broader, and underrepresented by material available for examination at the time of writing.
