Anochetus intermedius is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Ponerinae known from two possibly Miocene[1] fossils found on Hispaniola.
[2][3] Anochetus intermedius is known from a solitary fossil insect which, along with two flies, three other ants, and two springtails, is an inclusion in a transparent yellow chunk 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 specimen was collected from an undetermined amber mine in fossil bearing rocks of the Cordillera Septentrional mountains of northern Dominican Republic.
The holotype fossil was first studied by entomologist Maria L. De Andrade of the University of Basle with her 1991 type description of the new species being published in the journal Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde.
