Carrizocladus Rasnitsyn in Rasnitsyn et al., 2004).

— Type species Carrizocladus arroyo Rasnitsyn, 2004 , based on a nearly complete forewing; other species “? Carrizocladus ” deter Rasnitsyn, 2004 , based on a very incomplete forewing. Carrizocladus arroyo shares with the Anthracoptilidae the presence of numerous simple parallel branches of RP, M, and CuA. Rasnitsyn (in Rasnitsyn et al. 2004: 9) considered in his drawing that about five anteriorly pectinate branches are emerging from M while he wrote that M has only two branches, which would be quite abnormal for an attribution to the Anthracoptilidae . After the original photograph of the type specimen, it is more likely that these veins are emerging anteriorly from CuA, while M has two branches only. The second species “? Carrizocladus ” deter shares few characters with the type species and its attribution to this genus (or even to the Anthracoptilidae ) is weakly supported (maybe by the presence of some anterior branches of CuA).
