Habitat/Ecology. This subspecies was found in either primary or old secondary forest, in a rotten, half-decayed tree branch on the ground.
Remarks. The subspecies conicollis may be distinguished from P. singaporensis by a slightly wider head, and relatively shorter/less elongate occipital collar or ‘neck’; other more subtle differences include relatively shorter propodeal spines and a weakly pointed petiolar apex (as opposed to an almost flat apicodorsal petiolar face in P. singaporensis ) At the time of writing, this subspecies is known from Singapore only based on literature records.
