Ochodaeidae View in CoL : CRETOCHODAEINAE Nikolajev 1995 a (L Cretaceous–Oligocene)

Diagnosis: Mandibles and labrum exposed; clypeus with ‘stripe’ on anterior margin; eyes partly separated by canthus; procoxae ‘appear contiguous’; mesotibiae without carinae; radius extending along anterior margin; radius sector (5 RA4) at angle to radius and interrupted near base. Remarks: Nikolajev’s drawing resembles the hind wings of Glaphyridae (see Balthasar 1943) and the other diagnostic characters also would fit this family.
