Introduzione

Anochetus intermedius is an extinct species of trap-jaw ant known only from the fossil record. This species was described from a single worker preserved in Dominican amber dating to the Miocene epoch, approximately 17 million years ago . The specimen was collected in the Dominican Republic and represents an ancient Caribbean lineage of the genus Anochetus. Like other members of this genus, the worker likely possessed the characteristic trap-jaw mandibles used for predation, but no living populations exist .
