2.2. Familia Paleoovoididae Vasilenko 2005a: 55, 2005b: 629 Fossil formations on various parts of plants interpreted as clutches of invertebrates.

Subfamilia Paleoovidinae Enushchenko and Frolov , ichnosubfam. nov.

Fossil damage on various parts of plants partially or completely immersed in its tissue (endophytic oviposition) and interpreted as egg clutches of arthropods invertebrates. They are single eggs introduced by animals using an ovipositor. If, at the same time, a gall formation process occurred, such neoplasms should be considered within the family Paleogallidae Vialov, 1975 .
