Description
Small insects, front wing length from 6.5 to 17 mm. Vein Sc located at the base of the pterostigmus ; vein RP extends distally. Short-bodied, somewhat dorsoventrally compressed. The head is large, transverse. Pronotum small, very short; pterothorax homonomic; legs are short. Abdomen short with well sclerotized short segments. The body structure is described only by body prints and the structure of the front and rear wings [1] .
Systematics
The family was first identified in 1977 [2] by the Soviet paleoentomologist A. G. Ponomarenko ( Paleontological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences , Moscow ) when describing several new fossil genera and species from Permian deposits (wing prints).
In 2013, when describing several new fossil genera and species from Permian deposits (the prints of the wings and body of Nanosialis and others), the Parasialidae family was separated into a separate new taxon Panmegaloptera by the Russian entomologist Dmitry Scherbakov ( Paleontological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences , Moscow ). The author proposed (Shcherbakov, 2013) to form a new detachment of insects Panmegaloptera (= Megaloptera sl , i.e. sensu Latreille, 1802), including 4 suborders: Archimegaloptera (Parasialidae), Megaloptera s.str. (Big-winged), Siarapha (Nanosialidae) and Raphidioptera (modern and many fossil representatives of camels ) [1] .
The following extinct taxa are included in the family:
- Genus Parasialis Ponomarenko, 1977 ( Permian period , Eurasia ; 4 species)
- Parasialis dissedens Ponomarenko, 1977
- Parasialis latipennis Ponomarenko, 1977
- Parasialis ovata Ponomarenko, 2000
- Parasialis rozhkovi Novokshonov, 1993
- Genus Sojanasialis Ponomarenko, 1977 (Middle Permian period, Russia, Soyana; monotypic genus).
- Sojanasialis longipennis Ponomarenko, 1977
