Permosialidae (Insecta: Palaeomanteida): Composition, Systematics and Relationships

Paleontological Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The composition of the order Miomoptera is considered at the family level, and the system of the family Permosialidae is revised. Keys are provided to families of the order and to genera and species of the family Permosialidae, with synonymies and unified diagnoses of the genera and species of Permosialidae. The composition of the family is shown to remain uniform through its entire time interval, with the type genus always prevalent, and the only one recorded at its start (late Kungurian) and finish (Triassic). The geographical distribution of Permosialidae is noteworthy: widespread over Angarida and confined to that region except for a unique record from Australia.
