Description[edit]
Palaeontinoids were comparatively large, cicada-like insects that existed from the Upper
Permian to the Middle Cretaceous (around 260.4 to 112.0 million years ago).
Subdivisions[edit]
The three families classified under Palaeontinoidea, along with their age range and
collection sites, are the following:
Mesogereonidae Tillyard, 1921
Upper Triassic; Australia and South Africa. Contains two monophyletic genera.[2]
Dunstaniidae Tillyard, 1916
Upper Permian to Lower Jurassic; South Africa, Australia, France, Central Asia,
and China.[2][3]
Palaeontinidae Handlirsch, 1906
Upper Triassic to Middle Cretaceous; Brazil, China, Russia, Germany,
the Transbaikal region, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Spain, Germ
any, and the United Kingdom. Contains around 30 to 40 genera and about a hundred
