Elaeomyrmex is an extinct genus of ant of the subfamily Dolichoderinae. The fossils were first discovered in the United States in 1930.[1]
Only the workers and queens have been properly studied, and it shows the workers were similar in appearance to the queens, except the queens were the largest of the colony.[1]
