Taldycupedidae is an extinct family of beetles primarily known from the Permian period.
Taxonomy
[edit]Kirejtshuk (2020) included the following genera in Taldycupedidae, preliminarily treating it as a subfamily Taldycupedinae of the family Permocupedidae.[1]

The genera Alveolacupes Lin, 1983, Clathropenna Fujiyama, 1973 and Penecupes Ren, 1995 were previously placed in the family by some authors, but were all excluded from it by Kirejtshuk (2020). The genera Wuchangia Hong, 1985 and Yuxianocoleus Hong, 1985, both from the Lower Jurassic of Hubei, China, were also excluded from the family by Zhao et al. (2021) (as the subfamily Taldycupedinae).[2]
