Habitat/Ecology. This species appears to be associated mainly with disturbed young or mature secondary forest, where the ants were found in leaf litter.

Remarks. Deemed to be African in origin ( Bolton 2000), S. rogeri was probably introduced to Singapore via human commerce – which has been attributed to for the species’ spread to other parts of the world ( Wetterer 2012c).
