Aphaenogaster mersa

''Aphaenogaster mersa'' is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae known from a pair of Middle Eocene fossils found in Europe. ''A. mersa'' is one of three species in the ant genus ''Aphaenogaster'' to have been noted from fossils found in Baltic amber by William Morton Wheeler.
==History and classification==
''Aphaenogaster mersa'' was examined and described from a single type specimen worker which was fossilized as an inclusion in a transparent chunk of Baltic amber.〔 Baltic amber is approximately 46 million years old, having been deposited during the Lutetian stage of the Middle Eocene. There is debate over the plant family which produced the amber, with evidence supporting relatives of either an ''Agathis'' or a ''Pseudolarix''. When first described, the type worker was part of the University of Königsberg amber collection as specimen number B18509. The fossil was first studied by Wheeler, then a paleoentomologist with Harvard University, who placed the species in the genus ''Aphaenogaster''. Wheeler's 1915 type description of the new species was published in the journal ''Schriften der Physikalisch-Okonomischen Gesellschaft zu Königsberg''.〔
In his 1915 paper Wheeler noted that alongside ''A. mersa'', two other ''Aphaenogaster'' species are known from European amber fossils ''A. oligocenica'', and ''A. sommerfeldti''.〔 A third northern European amber species, ''A. antiqua'', was described in 2009, and the authors of the 2009 paper noted a second confirmed ''A. mersa'' specimen which had been identified during their study.〔 While both ''A. oligocenica'' and ''A. sommerfeldti'' are known from Baltic and Bitterfeld amber, ''A. mersa'' has only been found in Baltic amber and ''A. antiqua'' in Rovno amber.
