Kurzfassung
Bisher waren die Misthodotida, ein monophyletisches Stammgruppentaxon der Ephemeroptera, nur aus dem Perm nachgewiesen.Thuringopteryx gimmi Kuhn, 1937, meist als eine Art der Odonatoptera, Palaeodictyoptera oder Saltatoria angesehen, ist jedoch ebenfalls ein Stammgruppenvertreter der Eintagsfliegen ähnlichMisthodotes. Sie stimmt mit den anderen Misthodotida in ihrem einästigen Cubitus anterior synapomorph überein, mitMisthodotes außerdem in ihrer kurzen Subcosta. Somit haben die Misthodotida zumindest bis in das frühe Mesozoikum überlebt. Die Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen vonMisthodotes und seinen näheren Verwandten werden erörtert.
Abstract
The Misthodotida have been known from the Permian only. However,Thuringopteryx gimmi Kuhn, 1937 from the middle Buntsandstein of Thuringia, Germany, usually considered to be a representative of the Odonatoptera, Palaeodictyptera or Saltatoria-Ensifera, belongs in the stem group of the mayflies, sharing with the Misthodotida a one-branched CuA and withMisthodotes a short Sc. Hence, the Misthodotida survived at least until the early Mesozoic. The phylogenetic relationships ofMisthodotes and its closest allies are outlined.
