It is one of the few ants that build arboreal nests[1] made of leaves stitched together using silk produced by their larvae. Originally described as a "race" of Polyrhachis furcata, it was elevated to a full species by C T Bingham who noted differences in the shape of the spines.[2] A species described from Travancore as weberi by Horace Donisthorpe in 1943 was identified as being identical to gracilior by Barry Bolton.[3] References1. ^{{cite journal|journal=Journal of Tropical Ecology |year=2006|volume= 22|pages=341–344|doi=10.1017/S0266467405003111| title= Co-existence of ants and an arboreal earthworm in a myrmecophyte of the Indian Western Ghats: anti-predation effect of the earthworm mucus |author1=Gaume, Laurence |author2=Megha Shenoy |author3=Merry Zacharias |author4=Renee M.
