This is a poorly known species that inhabits forest floor leaf litter in rainforest. Workers and dealate queens are taken in Winkler samples of sifted litter from the forest floor. I have examined material from the Osa Peninsula (from sea level to the 700m elevation cloud forest), Manuel Antonio National Park (20m elevation), and Carara Biological Reserve (30m elevation).
Panama (type locality), Costa Rica. Costa Rica: southern Pacific lowlands.
