This species occurs in cloud forest habitats from 1430-2190 m elevation. Most specimens are from Winkler samples of sifted leaf litter and rotten wood. Workers and dealate queens occur in litter samples. A male is known from beating low vegetation. A few workers were collected at a cookie bait on the forest floor. (Branstetter & Longino, 2022)
