Dysagrionites
Archibald & Cannings
, new collective genus
Fig. 62–64
.
Definition.
This genus-level collective group name is proposed for any fossil species referable to the
Dysagrioninae
that can be clearly defined at the species level, separating them from other species of the subfamily, but whose orthotaxon generic affinity is unclear by the preservation of its currently known specimens.
Etymology
. The collective genus name is formed from
Dysagrion
, the name of
type
genus of the subfamily
Dysagrioninae
, and the suffix –
ites
, often used in the names of fossil genera, including parataxa. Gender masculine.
Discussion.
As a collective group, a definition is provided, but not a diagnosis or description, and a
type
species is not designated (International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature 1999: article 42.3.1). Species are distinguished from all other species of the bounding group, the
Dysagrioninae
.
