Eotipuloptera Kalugina in Kalugina & Kovalev, 1985 : 55 type species, by original designation: Eotipuloptera savtshenkoi Kalugina, 1985 ) syn.n. The genus Eotipula was described by Handlirsch (1906) for two species from the Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) of Dobbertin, Germany , Eotipula parva Handlirsch, 1906 and Eotipula lapidaria Handlirsch, 1906 . Eotipula parva was subsequently designated as the type species by Carpenter (1992) . Handlirsch (1939) described four additional species in Eotipula , Eotipula defuncta , Eotipula mortua , Eotipula longa and Eotipula coarctata , all from the Dobbertin of Germany . The genus has not been revised since. A later study of the types of the species described by Kalugina in Kalugina & Kovalev (1985) in the genera Eotipulina (three species) and Eotipuloptera (one species) revealed that they all belong in Eotipula , and we therefore here synonymise the names Eotipulina and Eotipuloptera with Eotipula . A diagnosis of Eotipulinae and Eotipula is given by Kalugina (1985) . A revision of Eotipula with description of several new species is in preparation (W. Krzemiński in prep.).
