Types. Holotype queen from France (Oligocene).

Comments. This is an impression fossil of a queen. There is so little morphological detail available that rigorous generic placement is nearly impossible. As such, and following Shattuck (1992a) , it is here left in Iridomyrmex but this placement is little more than speculation and it is considered incertae sedis in the genus.
