Creaphididae, A New and the Oldest Aphid Family From the Triassic of Middle Asia
The only aphid specimen recorded in pre-Jurassic strata is the holotype forewing of Triassoaphis cubitus, which has not been referred to any family (Evans 1956. Heie 1987). Recently, another specimen has been discovered among numerous Triassic Homoptera collected in the rich locality. Dzhailou-Tcho...

| description |
The only aphid specimen recorded in pre-Jurassic strata is the
holotype forewing of Triassoaphis cubitus, which has not been
referred to any family (Evans 1956. Heie 1987). Recently, another
specimen has been discovered among numerous Triassic
Homoptera collected in the rich locality. Dzhailou-Tcho (South
Fergana, Middle Asia), and deposited in the Paleontological Institute
(Moscow). According to paleobotanical data, the locality is of
Ladinian-Carnian age, i.e., roughly synchronous or somewhat
older than Carnian Ipswich Group (Dobruskina 1982) that harboured
Triassoaphis. The newly found aphid is very primitive and
peculiar enough to merit new family status. |
