3.3. Family Iotacyphidae Shcherbakov, Bashkuev, & Shmakov, 2024 stat. nov.

Iotacyphinae Shcherbakov, Bashkuev, & Shmakov, 2024: 416. Type genus: Iotacypha Shcherbakov, Bashkuev, & Shmakov, 2024.

Diagnosis.

These insects are well characterized by the synapomorphic presence in the forewing of large median cells and strong angles in the courses of R and M, all absent in the Lophioneuridae (sensu Nel et al. 2012, 2014) and Moundthripidae Nel, Azar, & Nel, 2007 . These three families have a CuA re-emerging first from R + M + CuA but CuA is not orthogonal to R + M in the Moundthripidae versus orthogonal in Iotacyphidae and Lophioneuridae (see below).

Included genera.

Burmacypha Zherikhin, 2000 (mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber); Iotacypha Shcherbakov, Bashkuev, & Shmakov, 2024 (mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber); Retiptera Cumming, Engel, Lian, & Ulitzka, 2024 (mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber); Triassocypha gen. nov. (Middle Triassic, Monte San Giorgio, Switzerland).
