Cyllonium
Cyllonium is a genus of extinct insects. It contains two species.
Discovery
Both species of Cyllonium were first described by the English entomologist John Obadiah Westwood. The fossils were recovered from the Early Cretaceous of the Lower Purbeck formation, Durdlestone Bay, England.Taxonomy
Very little is known of the two fossils as they were published without description. Illustrations, however, were provided, but even these show that the fossils were fragmentary. They were originally identified to be butterflies, but this is now generally not accepted.They have been tentatively identified as possible palaeontinids in 1961.
