Pendahuluan

Carebara schossnicensis is an extinct ant species known only from a single fossil forewing imprint discovered in Miocene deposits (approximately 7-15 million years old) in Silesia, now part of modern-day Poland . The species was originally described in 1870 by Assmann under the genus Pheidologeton, based solely on wing venation characteristics . The forewing venation is nearly identical to that of Myrmica rugiceps, leading researchers to note significant uncertainty about its proper taxonomic placement - it might belong to Carebara, the morphogenus Paraphaenogaster, or potentially another myrmicine ant genus . This species exists only in the fossil record and has no living representatives.
