context_page_description: Emplastus is an extinct morphogenus of ants in the subfamily Dolichoderinae, known from fossils found in Asia and Europe. The genus contains twelve species described from sites in England, Eastern Europe and Far Eastern Russia.
context_section_description: Dlussky and Putyatina described this species from a pair of fossils that had been identified as other species.  The holotype queen was originally identified by Heer as Ponera fuliginosa, while the paratype queen was identified by Heer as Formica ungeri.  While the queens are similar in appearance to E. haueri, both are double in body length of that species, being 13.5 mm (0.53 in) long.  The queens have heads that are nearly square, compound eyes placed near the midpoint, and a clypeus that is curved on the front margin.
