Introducción

Anochetus conisquamis is an extinct trap-jaw ant known only from a single worker preserved in 17-million-year-old Dominican Amber from the Miocene epoch . De Andrade described this fossil species in 1994,and it belongs to the cato species group within the genus Anochetus . No living specimens exist. As a member of the subfamily Ponerinae, this species would have possessed a functional stinger for defense, similar to other trap-jaw ants in this group. However, the specific behaviors of this extinct species remain unknown.
