Manica andrannae is a fossil species of the ants tribe Myrmicini from the subfamily Myrmicinae ( Formicidae). It was discovered in Europe. Eocene amber has been dated at 33.9–37.8 million years ago (specifically Russian Baltic amber). This is the first finding of this genus in a fossil state, having a plesiomorphic state with features such as the propodeum having a weakly convex dorsum and short, blunt tubercles, and by a more angular petiolar node.
