Geographic range
Native: central Africa
Introduced: Oriental realm (India: Kerala; Indonesia: Borneo, Java, Sumatra; Malaysia; Philippines; Singapore; Taiwan; Thailand: Trang; Vietnam), Sino-Japanese realm (mainland China: Hong Kong). For a full global account refer to antmaps.org (Janicki et al. 2016; Guénard et al. 2017).
New record for Thailand.
Ecology
Collected in mature forest and rubber plantations, at elevations from 140 to 271 m.
Comments
An Afrotropical tramp species with an extensive introduced range across Malagasy, Nearctic, Oceanian, Oriental, Panamanian and Sino-Japanese realms, as well as indoor introduction in the Australian and Palearctic realms. Given its records in nearby Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia, this new record in southern Thailand was expected. Its presence in Laos and Cambodia is also likely.
