Habitat/Ecology. A single alate queen of this species was found in a malaise trap sample from old growth mangroves on an offshore landfill.

Remarks. At the time of writing, this species is known from only one locality in Singapore, based on a single alate. The presence of a reproductive individual may suggest that this species is not a mere transient visitor to the area.
