Habitat/Ecology. This species is associated with primary and old or mature secondary forests in Singapore. Individuals can be found in leaf litter on forest floors. These ants have also been found in disturbed primary forest, at around 100 m elevation - a nest was found in a soil crevice beneath leaf litter.

Remarks. Voucher specimens of this species are unavailable in ZRC, or have not been identified from unsorted material. Original labels of material in ANIC describe habitat as ‘degraded coastal hill forest on granite’, but this may not be an accurate description of the forest in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve where specimens were collected.
