Attopsis

''Attopsis'' is an extinct genus of ants in the formicid subfamily Formicinae. While formerly containing a number of species, the genus is currently 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 eighteen 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 have 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 Oswald Heer, then a professor with the University of Zürich, who placed the fossils in a new genus ''Attopsis''. The genus was based on the perceived structuring of the petiole as having two segments and the wing venation having an open mcu cell. Along with ''A. longipennis'', Heer described three other species, ''A. anthracina'', ''A. longipes'', and ''A. nigra''. The genus and many of the type specimens were reexamined and redescribed in 2014 by paleoentomologists Gennady Dlussky and Tatyana Putyatina. Dlussky and Putyatina determined that only the type specimen for ''A. longipennis'' matched a revised description of the genus, while all other fossils from the four species were redescibed as members of different genera. This revision resulted in only a single species in ''Attopsis''. The type specimens for ''A. anthracina'', ''A. longipes'', and ''A. nigra'' match the description for males of the species ''Oecophylla obesa'', and Dlussky and Putyatina designated the three species as junior synonyms of ''O. obesa''.〔
