- Comment: A single source (not actually cited anywhere in the body text) really isn't enough, especially for a possibly contentious claim of a new species. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:25, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

†Manica andrannae is a species of ants tribe Myrmicini from the subfamily Myrmicinae (Formicidae). Europe, Eocene amber (33.9–37.8 million years ago): Russia (Baltic amber). The first finding of this genus in fossil state, having plesiomorphic state of some features (the propodeum with a weakly convex dorsum and short, blunt tubercles, and by more angular petiolar node). These features bring Manica with a sister genus Myrmica.[2][3]
