Aphaenogaster Quadrispina
''Aphaenogaster'' is a genus of myrmicine ants in the tribe Stenammini. About 200 species have been described, including 18 fossil species. They occur worldwide except in South America south of Colombia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Antarctica. ''Aphaenogaster'' colonies have monomorphic workers. They have four-segmented antennal clubs and 12-segmented antennae.Genus ''Aphaenogaster'' In Australia, they often build dense, conspicuous nests.Richards, P.J. (2009) ''Aphaenogaster'' ants as bioturbators: impacts on soil and slope processes. Earth-Science Reviews 96: 92-106. Nest entrances are generally funnel-shaped with diameters up to 4 cm, which resulted in the common name funnel ants. These nests can be a serious problem for |
Lutetian
The Lutetian is, in the geologic timescale, a stage (stratigraphy), stage or age (geology), age in the Eocene. It spans the time between . The Lutetian is preceded by the Ypresian and is followed by the Bartonian. Together with the Bartonian it is sometimes referred to as the Middle Eocene Subepoch. Stratigraphic definition The Lutetian was named after Lutetia, the Latin language, Latin name for the city of Paris. The Lutetian Stage was introduced in scientific literature by French geologist Albert de Lapparent in 1883 and revised by A. Blondeau in 1981. The base of the Lutetian Stage is at the first appearance of the nanofossil ''Blackites inflatus'', according to an official reference profile (GSSP) established in 2011. Of two candidates located in Spain, the Gorrondatxe section was chosen.See thwebsite of Eustoquio Molinafor these candidates. The top of the Lutetian (the base of the Bartonian) is at the first appearance of calcareous nannofossils, calcareous nanoplankton s ...

Aphaenogaster Avita
''Aphaenogaster avita'' is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae known from a solitary early to middle Miocene fossil found in Japan. At the time of description ''A. praerelicta'' was one of twelve ''Aphaenogaster'' species to have been described from fossils and the only fossil species from Japan. History and classification ''Aphaenogaster avita'' is known from a solitary fossil insect which is a compression-impression fossil preserved in a layer of soft diatomite. Along with several other insect fossils, the ''A. avita'' specimen was collected in 1969 from layers of the early to middle Miocene Chojabaru Formation. The formation is composed of diatomites, sandstones and mudstones with the insects recovered from the upper and middle sections. The formation outcrops in a small area on Cape Chojabaru on the eastern side of Iki Island, and the flora of the formation is notably similar to that of Daijima flora, which is noted to be Middle Miocene in age.
