Described by Auguste-Henri Forel in 1915, the ant is common in Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland, and it is unlikely there are existing colonies in more southern Australian states.[1] Nests have been found under bark, and is among the most likely ant to be encountered by the general public.[1]
