Habitat/Ecology. This arboreal species was found mainly in mangroves and young secondary forests of varying quality and levels of disturbance, such as waste woodland secondary forest fragments in urban or semi-urban settings. In mangroves, the ants have been found on lower vegetation, or nesting in felled Lumnitzera or hollow twigs of Lumnitzera . In other forests, individuals have been found in hollow branches suspended in bushes under Eugenia, also nesting in other suspended hollow branches.
