Gnamptogenys rohdendorfi

物种引言

Gnamptogenys rohdendorfi is an extinct ant species known only from fossil specimens preserved in Eocene Baltic amber, dating to approximately 44-49 million years ago. This species was formally described by G. M. Dlussky in 2009 based on male specimens found in European amber deposits from Bitterfeld, Jutland, the Gulf of Gdańsk, and Rovno . The genus Gnamptogenys continues to exist today with numerous living species found primarily in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, but this specific species vanished millions of years ago. As a fossil species, Gnamptogenys rohdendorfi cannot be kept in captivity - no living specimens exist, and no antkeeping care guide can be written for an extinct species.
