Description

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

The three families classified under Palaeontinoidea, along with their age range and collection sites, are the following:
