Habitat/Ecology. This species is associated with primary and old/mature secondary forests in Singapore. The ants were usually found in soil at bases of trees.

Remarks. Type locality in Singapore. “Degraded coastal hill forest on granite” printed on the original type label is probably an inaccurate description of the actual forest types in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (BTNR), based on known land use histories of BTNR and its surroundings.
