Anochetus exstinctus is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Ponerinae known from two possibly Miocene[1] fossils found on Hispaniola.

[2][3] Anochetus exstinctus is known from three solitary fossil insects, which are inclusions in yellow transparent chunks of Dominican amber.

[2] The amber was produced by the extinct Hymenaea protera, which formerly grew on Hispaniola, across northern South America and up to southern Mexico.

The specimens were collected from an undetermined amber mine in fossil-bearing rocks of the Cordillera Septentrional mountains, northern Dominican Republic.

The holotype and paratype fossils were first studied by entomologist Maria L. De Andrade of the University of Basle, with her 1994 type description of the new species being published in the journal Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde.
