Material examined. Mandai, Bird Park Buffer, 17 Jul 2019, J. Tan & N. Chin leg., JTNC- MIS-002, Mandai Insect Survey, ZRC _ ENT00013543; Bukit Timah forest, Apr 1968, D.H. Murphy leg., ZRC _HYM_0000611-612; same locality as previous, 17 Mar 1967, D.H. Murphy leg., ZRC _HYM_0000615-616 .

Material not physically examined. Type male – FOCOL0867 (ZMHB).

Literature. Viehmeyer (1916), Overbeck (1924) [both as Stictoponera binghami (sic)].

Localities. Bukit Timah; Mandai.

Habitat/Ecology. Found mostly in primary or mature secondary forests, as well as young secondary habitat in Singapore. Individuals have been collected from forest litter and soil samples; nests can be found in cavities of fallen rotting/decaying wood or branches. In one instance, a nest was found in a large fallen rotting branch alongside a Leptogenys colony.

Remarks. The first local record of this species was a male type specimen identified and described by Viehmeyer (1916), based on material collected by Hans Overbeck. Genus initially determined as Gnamptogenys, but present species combination revived in Camacho et al. (2022) based on phylogenetic evidence.
