Clatrotitan is an extinct genus of titanopteran insect, known from Triassic of Australia .[1] It is originally described from a species, C. andersoni, then later study considered that Mesotitan scullyi as species of Clatrotitan too. But another study synonymized Mesotitan and Clatrotitan. Study in 2021 proposed to keep the two genera Clatrotitan and Mesotitan separated.[2] C. andersoni had large forewing that is 13.8 centimetres (5.4 in) long.[3]
