Permocupedoidea
Permocupedoidea is a superfamily of Protocoleoptera that contains two known families. The type family is Permocupedidae Permocupedidae is a family of Protocoleopteran stem group beetles. They first appeared during the Early Permian, and were one of the dominant groups of beetles during the Middle Permian. They became rare in the Late Permian, with only one species ....

Permocupedidae
Permocupedidae is a family of Protocoleopteran stem group beetles. They first appeared during the Early Permian, and were one of the dominant groups of beetles during the Middle Permian. They became rare in the Late Permian, with only one species known from the Triassic, '' Frankencupes ultimus'' from the Middle Triassic (Anisian) Röt Formation of Germany. They are thought to have been xylophagous (wood eating), which is presumed to be the ancestral ecology of beetles. Taxonomy Kirejtshuk (2020) included the following genera in an expanded (''sensu lato'') family, with the traditional (''sensu stricto'') Permocupedidae and related Taldycupedidae as subfamilies Permocupedinae and Taldycupedinae respectively. However, other studies have recovered Talycupedidae as more closely related to crown-group beetles than to Permocupedidae. *'' Afrocupes'' South Africa: Western Cape (Kenmoore Farm), Whitehill Formation, Permian, Cisuralian, Sakmarian/Artinskian, −290.1–279.5 Ma. * ...

Taldycupedidae
Taldycupedidae is an extinct family of beetles primarily known from the Permian period. Taxonomy Kirejtshuk (2020) included the following genera in Taldycupedidae, preliminarily treating it as a subfamily Taldycupedinae of the family Permocupedidae. * '' Afrotaldycupes'' Beaufort Group, South Africa, Late Permian (Changhsingian) ** '' Afrotaldycupes africanus'' (Type species) ** '' Afrotaldycupes lidgettoniensis'' * '' Mesothoris'' Blackstone Formation, Australia Late Triassic (Norian) ** '' Mesothoris clathrata'' (Type species) ** '' Mesothoris grandis'' ** '' Mesothoris punctomarginum'' * '' Proterocupes'' (syn ''Lobanovia'' ) ** '' Proterocupes major'' Vokhma Formation, Vologda, Russia, Late Permian (Changhsingian) ** '' Proterocupes nedubrovensis'' Vokhma Formation, Vologda, Russia, Late Permian (Changhsingian) ** '' Proterocupes permiana'' (Type species) Poldarsa Formation, Vologda, Russia, Late Permian (Wuchiapingian) * '' Simmondsia'' Blackstone Formation, Aust ...

Protocoleoptera
The Protocoleoptera are a paraphyletic group of extinct beetles, containing the earliest and most primitive lineages of beetles. They represented the dominant group of beetles during the Permian, but were largely replaced by modern beetle groups during the following Triassic. Protocoleopterans typically possess prognathous (horizontal) heads, distinctive elytra with regular window punctures, culticles with tubercles or scales, as well as a primitive pattern of ventral sclerites, similar to the modern archostematan families Ommatidae and Cupedidae. They are thought to have been xylophagous and wood boring. Kirejtshuk ''et al.'' (2014) argue that the name "Protocoleoptera" should not be used for the group, as Protocoleoptera was originally proposed for the family Protocoleidae , now considered a member of the extinct order Protelytroptera (a stem-group of the modern Dermaptera Earwigs make up the insect order Dermaptera. With about 2,000 species in 12 families, they are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
