Jurodidae
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Jurodidae is a family of beetles that was originally described for the extinct genus Jurodes, known from the Middle-Late Jurassic of Asia. In 1996, a living species, Sikhotealinia zhiltzovae, was discovered in the Sikhote-Alin mountains in southeastern Siberia, and assigned to this family.[1] Their placement is uncertain, but are usually considered archostematans.[2] In one study, Sikhotealinia and Jurodes were considered a sister group to all other archostematan beetles.[3] However, other authors have considered their placement within beetles as a whole uncertain, due to their mix characteristics of typical Archostemata, as well as Polyphaga and Adephaga.[4]
