Nearctic Region: United States.

Biology
Nevada, Wheeler and Wheeler (1986) - We have 7 records from 5 localities; 6,800-10,400 ft. All were from the Coniferous Forest Biome. We have description of one nest: a crescent of thatch beside a stone. The workers were foraging on a young bristlecone pine.

This species is likely to be a temporary parasite of another species of Formica, but its host is.
