Family EOPOLYNEURIDAE

 

 




The family Eopolyneuridae was proposed by Rohdendorf (1962) for two genera, Eopolyneura Rohdendorf and Pareopolyneura Rohdendorf, both found in the Jurassic deposits of Issyk-Kul', Kirghizistan. Rohdendorf (1962) classified the genera in this family as being members of Rohdendorf's superfamily Eopolyneuridea in the Tipulomorpha.

Since both fossils are known only from wings and the type specimen (wing) of Pareopolyneura is fragmented, it is premature at this time to make conclusions on their classification until the type specimens can be restudied.
