'''''Dolichoderus cornutus''''' is an [[extinct]] species of [[Eocene]] [[ant]] in the genus ''[[Dolichoderus]]''. Described by [[Gustav Mayr|Mayr]] in 1868, the fossils were discovered in the [[Baltic amber]], where a fossilised worker ant was only described, and it is presumed these ants existed at least 40 million years ago.<ref>Mayr, G. 1868c.
