Dolichoderus prolaminatus is an extinct species of Miocene ant in the genus Dolichoderus . The fossils were found in the Dominican Amber, and was described by Wilson in 1985. [1]
Dominican amber is amber from the Dominican Republic derived from resin of the extinct tree Hymenaea protera.
Dolichoderus is a genus of ants found worldwide.
Azteca alpha is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Dolichoderinae known from possibly Miocene fossils found on Hispaniola. A. alpha is one of only two species in the genus Azteca to have been described from fossils, both found in Dominican amber. It is the host for a fossil nematode, and has been preserved with scale insects.
Azteca eumeces is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Dolichoderinae known from possibly Miocene fossils found on Hispaniola. A. eumeces is one of only two species in the ant genus Azteca to have been described from fossils, both found in Dominican amber.
Gracilidris humiloides is an extinct species of ant in the genus Gracilidris. It was discovered in the Dominican amber, only known from a single specimen, described by Wilson in 1985.
Dolichoderus brevicornis is a species of ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by Dlussky in 2002, remains of the species were discovered in the Baltic Amber.
Dolichoderus caribbaeus is an extinct species of ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Remains were found in the Dominican Amber, and they were described by Wilson in 1985.
Dolichoderus cornutus is an extinct species of Eocene ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by Mayr in 1868, the fossils were discovered in the Baltic amber, where a fossilised worker ant was only described, and it is presumed these ants existed at least 40 million years ago.
Dolichoderus dibolius is an extinct species of Miocene ant in the genus Dolichoderus. The fossils were found in the Dominican Amber, and was described by Wilson in 1985.
Dolichoderus elegans is an extinct species of Eocene ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by William Morton Wheeler in 1915, the fossilised remains of the species were found in the Baltic amber.
Dolichoderus intermedius is an extinct species of Miocene ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by Mackay in 1993, a fossilised worker was found in the Dominican amber, although the specific locality has not been given.
Dolichoderus longipilosus is an extinct species of Eocene ant in the genus Dolichoderus. It was described by Dlussky in 2002, and the fossils of the species are only known from a fossilised worker that was found in the Baltic amber.
Dolichoderus mesosternalis is an extinct species of Eocene ant in the genus Dolichoderus. Described by William Morton Wheeler in 1915, a fossilised worker of the species was found in the Baltic amber.
