Formica orbata

紹介

Formica orbata is an extinct fossil ant species from the Miocene period, known only from fossil specimens recovered from the Oeningen deposits in Switzerland . This species was originally described by Oswald Heer in 1849 based on five male specimens found in the Tertiärgebilde (Tertiary formations) of Oeningen. As a fossil species, no living colonies exist, and no care requirements can be established. The species is marked with the dagger symbol (†) to indicate its extinct status.
