Habitat/Ecology. A member of the Macaranga - associated Crematogaster captiosa -subgroup (which also includes C. borneensis ), this species colonizes mainly Macaranga hosts of the section Pruinosae, more rarely colonizing the section Pachystemon when the preferred host species are absent ( Feldhaar et al. 2016). Nests have been reported to be found in hollow shafts at the end (tips) of branches of large Macaranga shrubs in Singapore.

Remarks. Type locality in Singapore. At the time of writing, this species is known to only occur in a single locality in Singapore.
