Aphaenogaster praerelicta

''Aphaenogaster praerelicta'' is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae known from a solitary Late Oligocene to Early Miocene fossil found in Mexico. At the time of description ''A. praerelicta'' was one of three ''Aphaenogaster'' species known from Mexico.
==History and classification==
''Aphaenogaster praerelicta'' is known from a solitary fossil insect which is an inclusion in a transparent chunk of Mexican amber along with three flies, two springtails, a wasp, and some pollen grains.〔 Mexican amber is recovered from fossil bearing rocks in the Simojovel region of Chiapas, Mexico. The amber dates from between 22.5 million years old, representing the youngest sediments of the Balumtun Sandstone, and the 26 million year old La Quinta Formation. This age range straddles the boundary between the Late Oligocene and Early Miocene and is complicated by both formations being secondary deposits for the amber: the age range represents only the youngest that it might be. The amber was produced by either of two extinct ''Hymenaea'' species, ''Hymenaea mexicana'' or ''Hymenaea allendis'', both of which were initially described from fossil flowers included in Mexican amber. The fossil is part of the amber collection of George Poinar, Jr., which at the time of description, was housed at the University of California, Berkeley.〔
The fossil ant was first studied by paleoentomologist Maria De Andrade of the University of Basel. De Andrade's 1995 type description of the new species was published in the German journal ''Stuttgarter Beitrage zur Naturkunde (B)''. The specific epithet ''praerelicta'' is a combination of the Latin "prae" meaning ''before'' and "relicta", the species name for the modern ''Aphaenogaster relicta'' of Haiti, to which ''A. praerelicta'' is most similar. ''A. praerelicta'' is one of two species described by De Andrade in the 1995 paper: the other species ''Aphaenogaster amphioceanica'' was found in Dominican amber. Three l species of ''Aphaenogaster'' are currently known from Mexico, the fossil ''A. praerelicta'', ''A. ensifera'' and ''A. mexicana''.〔
