Eocoronidae is an extinct family of insects from the Carnian age of the Triassic period. It was established in 1981 by the Australia n entomologist Norman Tindale. At present, it contains only one species and genus: Eocorona iani.[1]
The taxonomical placement of Eocoronidae is unclear. Originally considered to belong to the order Lepidoptera, it is now assumed to be basal and is classified under Amphiesmenoptera.[2][3]
Fossils of Eoses triassica, previously classified under the monotypic family Eosetidae and subjectively synonymized by E.F. Reik into the mecopterid species Mesochorista proavita,[4][5] have been proposed by Tindale to belong to this family.[6]
