The species Juxtascelio interitus was first described from amber remains in 2014 by the Spanish entomologist J. Ortega Blanco ( Jaime Onega-Bianco , Departament d'Estra-tigrafia, Paleontologia i Geociencies Marines, Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona , Spain ), the Canadian biologist Ryan McKellar ( Ryan C. McKellar , Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton , Canada ), and American paleoentomologist Michael Engel ( MS Engel , Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History , New York ; and Division of Entomology , Paleoentomology, Natural History Museum, and Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas , Lawrence , Kansas , USA ) with species such as Proterosceliopsi s masneri , Bruescelio platycephalus and others.
