Attopsis Anthracina
''Attopsis'' is an extinct genus of ants in the Formicidae, formicid subfamily Formicinae. While formerly containing a number of species, the genus is currently monotypic taxon, monotypic; the type species, ''Attopsis longipennis'', is known from a single Early Miocene fossil found in what is now Croatia. History and classification When described, the genus ''Attopsis'' was based on a group of 18 separate fossil ants, which were preserved as compression fossils in sedimentary rock from the Radoboj area of what is now Croatia. The deposits are the result of sedimentation in an inland sea basin, possibly a shallow lagoon environment, during the Burdigalian of the Early Miocene. Along with ''Attopsis'', a diverse assemblage of several hundred species of insects has been preserved in the sediments, along with fish and algae. The fossil impressions are preserved in micrite limestones, resulting in low-quality preservation of fine details. The insect fossils were first studied by ...
