Localities. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve

Habitat/Ecology. This species is associated mostly with primary forest, and less frequently with old/mature secondary forest in Singapore. In primary forest, nests were found in tree bark, under concavities in tree bark filled with soil, and under bark of dead fallen logs. In mature secondary forest, nests were found under bark of fallen trees or large rotting logs.

Remarks. At the time of writing, S. sublaminata is only known from one locality in Singapore. This species is quite similar to S. gamegyn , but in the former species, hairs on dorsolateral margin of head posterior to apicoscrobal hair are not projecting laterally (2-3 hairs obviously projected laterally in full face view for S. gamegyn ), pleurae and sides of propodeum also mostly smooth and shiny (in S. gamegyn , only the katepisternum is smooth and shining, rest of lateral mesosomal surface reticulate-punctate).
