Pachycondyla oligocenica

Pachycondyla oligocenica is an extinct species of formicid in the ant subfamily Ponerinae known from a fossil found in eastern Asia.

[1] The specimen was described from a compression fossil preserved in diatomite deposits of the Bol’shaya Svetlovodnaya site.

The fossil-bearing rocks preserve possibly Priabonian plants and animals which lived in and around a small lake near a volcano.

In the type description, Dlussky, Rasnitsyn and Perfilieva named the species P. oligocenica, with the specific epithet derived "Oligocene" the possible age of the site.

The forewing has a length of 4.1 mm (0.16 in) with the veins fully enclosing and forming the cells 1+2r, 3r, mcu, and rm.
