Additional fossils briefly mentioned as Eosalmo were reported from Russia, but they have not received close taxonomic treatment since.

Ypresiomyrma
Ypresiomyrma is an extinct genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmeciinae that was described in 2006.

The queens of this genus are large, the mandibles are elongated and the eyes are well developed; a stinger is also present. The behaviour of these ants would have been similar to that of extant Myrmeciinae ants, such as solitary foraging for arthropod prey and never leaving pheromone
