Idelinellidae


Idelinellidae is an extinct family of insects from the Permian and possibly the Late Carboniferous. They closely resemble members of the family Stenoneuridae.

Classification history

Idelinellidae was originally established by Storozhenko to house the genus Idelinella, which had previously been included in the family Ideliidae. Idelinellidae itself was classified in the suborder Grylloblattina of the order Grylloblattida. In 2004, Aristov transferred the genus Permostriga from Kortshakoliidae to Idelinellidae and described Sylvastriga from the Tshekarda locality in the Koshelevka Formation. In 2012, Aristov and Rasnitsyn transferred the family to the order Eoblattida, and revised the family to include five more genera. Aristov later transferred the genus Permeoblatta to the family Protophasmatidae in 2015. Cui et al. consider most members of the family as representatives of the total group of Xenonomia, though the authors avoided using family names in their data set.

Included genera and species

The family consists of the following genera and species:
Permeoblatta Rasnitsyn & Aristov, 2010 from the Late Permian -aged Poldarsa Formation of Russia was formerly included in the family until 2015, when it was transferred to the family Protophasmatidae.
